What Is Causing Frequent Passing Of Stools In Infant After Starting Solid Food?
My son just turned 6 months old 10 days back and I started semi solid foods such as mashed carrots,peas,rice,dal etc.Ever since he has been passing stools more than 5 times a day.His stool test came with 'positive reducing agent'.I feed him only breast milk.What is the cause of the frequent stool passing?Will stopping milk help?If so,for how long?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern frequency of five stool in day (Not watery) in considered normal in this age group and no need to worry about it and no need to give any medicine or changing the diet, your child is doing fine, hope this information helps you, have good day.
