Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting up your query at HealthCareMagic. It would have been easier for me to comment had I known the weight of the child. If the weight and weight gain seem fine, stay relaxed. There seems to be nothing abnormal. Give her a fibre containing diet containing a combination of semi solids. You may try giving her diet free from wheat and wheat based products to see if there is relief. To be even more sure you can get a routine examination of stool done. If it is normal, there is no cause to worry.

I hope that helps. Feel free to contact back with further queries if any.
