Question
My five-month-old breastfed baby has loose stools that are not formed, occurring at least 2 to 3 times a day, and up to six times on some days. Medication hasn’t improved the situation. The local doctor said it would get better after adding solid food. When is it appropriate to introduce complementary foods in this case?
Answer
Considering the possibility of functional dyspepsia, some medications that adjust the intestinal flora can be used for treatment. Based on your description, you may consider using medications like Bifidobacterium. I hope your baby recovers soon.
