Hi
The symptoms can be due to excess lactose in breast milk. I would recommend you to give at least 3-4 bowls of complementary feeds with minimal sugar for proper growth and development. Keep a proper record of weight, length and head circumference and monitor it over 3 months interval. In case the growth is not appropriate for age then visit a pediatrician for evaluation.
