Hi,
Whenever you change the diet of the baby, there is a change in its stool consistency and color. If your milk is not sufficient for the baby, you can continue Dexolac. It is good that his weight is increasing, no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Himani Saroha
