Brief Answer:
Need not be given. Continue exclusive breast feeding.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. For a baby of this age, it is normal to pass stool several times a day or even after each feed. Alternatively the child may pass stool once in 10 days and that is normal too. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not grow concerned. It is also normal to pass green stool or a combination of yellow stool.

You need not be concerned and need not give Bonnisan Drops.

Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible milk for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same. Most formula milks are cow milk based and hence difficult to digest. Moreover they make the child more prone to complications and infections.

The weight gain is proper and you need not worry.
