Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
I went through your question.your concern is valid but passing 4-5 semisolid stools is normal in a four minth baby provided baby is active , no fever , passing urine adequately , gaining weight adequately.If i were your treating pediatrician i will like to assure you that your baby is gaining weight properly , colour of stool does not matter unless there is presence of blood in it, baby is feeding well , there is no cause of concern.This problem (actually it is normal) will resove at age of 6 months when semisolids are introduced.You need to be concerned if baby if dull , accepting less feed, not passing urine at least 4-6 times in 24 hours , passing large watery stools , there is presence of blood in stools , not gaining weight.

thanks
