hi, dr boskey is here, your baby stool report is normal, but here lactose test is not mention, in this age, two types of diarrhoea is common 1-lactose intolerant, 2-viral induced. so if diarrhea is persistent, do lactose test, if it is a positive, then give lactose free diet. & if it is negative, then don't worry, take care of baby.
