  5. My baby son has been pooping 6-7 times a day but in small amounts. It was different a month ago when he would poop 2-3 times a day but in larger amounts. The poop is a bit greenish and semiliquid. He's showing no signs of discomfort unless he's hungry, hes active, and his sleep is good. Hes only breastfed, and he weighs about 8.2 kgs. Should I be worried about this change in his pooping pattern?

I'm really concerned because my 7-month-old baby poops right after feeding. We're giving her a diet that includes cerelac and milk. Is it normal for her to poop so soon after eating, or is there something we should be worried about?

It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.
