Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
It is very important to find out the causes of frequent loose motions in a small child of 4 months with weight of 4.2 kg.
If the baby is breastfed, you have to clean the nipples properly with alcohol that evaporates completely.
If the baby is bottle fed then maintain the sterility of the bottles and nipplds by using steel bottles and sterilize by boiling in water for 20 minutes.
Also needed is to see if there is Amy intolerance particularly to lactose by appropriate stool tests.
Medication are to be strictly given as per the Pediatrician's recommendations.
