How To Stop Loose Motion In Infant Who Is On Mother S Feed?

hi my son is about 7 months old, he is suffering from loose motion for last 8 days. He is on mother s feed now as suggested by our doctor. We are not giving any supplement but as mother s feed is not sufficient for feed our baby we are giving glucose biscuits and some fruits. His frequency for passing stools is 5 -8 times a day. We have also done his stool testing done and the same of ok. He is taking regular feeds and we are also giving him electoral also to him. Yesterday doctor has recommended him toxin-0 drops for 5 days as his stools are not stopping. But still there is no improvement and he has lost some weight. Just wanted to know if any medicine can stop his loose motion or what we can do.. kindly help

Pediatrician,  's  Response
thanks for your question. well first of all is your child getting fever along with loose motions? if not and ghe way you have described it sounds viral infection.
so please start probiotics like enterogermina half vial once a day for 5 days. also zinc supplements for 14 days...
well your baby needs to be started on complementary feeds. so pls start with soft cooked rice and moongdhal mixture , bananas ,apple stued etc. mashed patatos or sweet potatos are also fine.
try and keep toys clean n wiped. babies start teething and putting everything in mouth and that produces loose motions very often.
