Hi dear
welcome to the HCM.
Exclusively breast fed child do pass frequent loose stools. This is quite normal (because of the increased gastrocolic reflex).
If the stools are greenish and slimy ,then one can suspect some stomach infection which can be detected by the Stool culture .
Exact bug causing the problem can be detected by the culture and accordingly child can be treated.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
