Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
What do you mean by diarrhea? Frequent bowel movements? Or simply loose stools? Or watery? Have you noticed any blood or mucus in the stools? Has he received any vaccination (Rotavirus vaccine can induce diarrhea) It could be related to the milk but at this age we would rather run stool studies (stool analysis, culture, and Rotavirus antigen) just to be sure. Meanwhile please make sure to keep him well hydrated by giving Babylyte.
