Hello,
I just read your query. If baby is having mother's milk then usually 6 to 8 stools(whether solid or semi solid) are considered normal as long as baby passes urine normally and feeds normally. Because loose motion causes dehydration in baby and less urination and refusal to take feed are common symptoms of that.
* Gum formation has nothing to do with loose motions.
* As your baby is 4 month old now, you can add foods like curd, banana, apple to the diet of your baby because they will help in making solid stool and curd is a good source of intestinal friendly bacterias which will help in maintaining normal intestinal movements. Start from small quantity.
* If you give baby milk other than yours then do maintain hygiene. Boil bottle and nipple before use and change nipple every 7 to 10 days.
* So do not worry about the number of stools baby passed a day and no need to give medication as long as he is not dehydrated or have other symptoms of infection( fever etc.).
* I hope you find my answer useful.
Thank you.
