Hello,
It is common for some babies to have loose motion especially if you are introducing new foods to him. We usually advise mothers to introduce the new dish for 3 consecutive days in order to give time to his body and observe changes in bowel movements.
Next, apart medications like Emigo for vomiting and Rinifol (probiotics) for motions, I would recommend to run following tests:
- Stool examination for ova/parasites
- Stool culture and sensitivity testing for candida
- Stool intolerance test
Try to give home prepared food. Avoid ready-made or other foods until improvement. Plus, if you are still breastfeeding, should get examination and culture testing of your breast milk in order to rule out related problems.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
