Hi sir or madam, for the last 3 months, my baby motions are watery, sometimes semi solid, and sometimes semi solid with mucus. It happens daily up to 8 times. I have attached the report in this mail. Please share what kind of problem this could be. The doctor told us to stop breastfeeding. Is this correct? What should I do? My baby is 6 months old.

Breastfeeding should not be stopped without strong evidence. Frequent motions may be due to lactose intolerance or gut infection. Please consult a pediatric gastroenterologist with the stool report. Hydration is crucial.

Doctor please check my report I have attached below. Occult blood shows trace. What does trace mean. What could be the reason for it. Is it something serious or something to worry about? Please help doctor.
