Hi I went through your question. Your concern is valid but passing 4-5 semisolid stools is normal in a four month baby provided baby is active, no fever, passing urine adequately , gaining weight adequately. If I were your treating pediatrician I will like to assure you that your baby is gaining weight properly, color of stool does not matter unless there is presence of blood in it, baby is feeding well, there is no cause of concern. This problem (actually it is normal) will remove at age of 6 months when semisolid are introduced. You need to be concerned if baby is dull, accepting less feed, not passing urine at least 4-6 times in 24 hours, passing large watery stools, there is presence of blood in stools, not gaining weight. Thanks
