He is 6 months. He had a case of vomitting and runny stool 2 days back. But it all cleared up yesterday morning. Nothing from yesterday. He is teething aswell and still has his normal teething stools. He is also struggling with a bad chest...bit of RSV. The burp in the foto happened now and only this once
