My 7 month old baby has been having frequent (4-5 times daily), green/brown oily/slimy loose stools with loud toots for the past 36 hours. His behavior hasnt changed and he is sleeping normally. He hasnt ran a fever or been sick in any other way during this. I have recently started him on solid foods. Should I be worried??
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your babies history and would like to make suggestions as follows:1. I find nothing to worry with him as there is no fever, no vomiting and no signs of sickness. So please do not worry about such frequency of stools.2. I would only suggest you to continue breastfeeding and give more liquids during day such as coconut water, rice water, lemon water, etc. Please avoid fruit juices and cold Chat Doctor.  You can give him ORS also if he accepts it (Some babies may not accept it because of its taste).3. If diarrhea persists or worsen, I would suggest you his stool examination in laboratory as well as consultation of a pediatrician. In that case supplementation with zinc and probiotics may also be helpful. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your baby the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
