Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea In An Infant
Hi, my 4 month old baby went from pooping 10 times per day to only pooping once ever 7 to 14 days with the help of lactolose after 8 weeks. He is generally well, he does not seem to be in pain but when he does open his bowel a lot of poo comes out. Is this normal, will he grow out of it once he starts solids?
