Question
My baby (eight months old) has had a bit of a change in his stool for the past week; it’s looser, sometimes like water, and has a sour smell. It seems like he’s not digesting well. Some days he has two or three bowel movements, and other days just one, but otherwise, he seems fine.
Answer
Avoid using air conditioning or electric fans to prevent your child from catching a cold that could lead to diarrhea. Based on your description, it seems your baby’s current condition is primarily due to poor diet causing dyspepsia. These can manifest as increased bowel movements and loose, watery stools. I recommend giving your baby probiotics and adjusting the feeding amount appropriately. I hope my response can help you.
