What Causes Bowel Movement After Every Feed In An Infant?

My baby is 5 months old.and he is passing stools for 4 to 5 times a day and almost after every feed.. I am breast feeding him.. Started with solids 18 days back.. One or two times it is slightly watery and sometimes it is normal.. Is this normal or something to worry about?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
This all because of the increased gastrocolic reflex and sudden changed diet leading to the change in frequency and consistency of the stool. Nothing to worry please continue the semisolid diet.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
