What Causes Frequent Passing Of Stools In Baby?
my baby is nearly 4 months, she has just got rid of conjunctivitus and has had a cold for bout 5 days which i have also got. She has dropped her feeds from having 6-7 oz every 4 hrs to having only 3-4 every 2-3 hrs. She is pooping more frequently and its runny with lumpy bits and stringy and can look greasy, She is also bit whingy and sleeps more frequently as previously she d only have power naps which lasted max of 40 mins. Should i take her to the doctors? Thanks Luisa
