My 5 and a half month old going 8-10 times potty every day since 4 days

To my understanding n knowledge there is nothing to worry, as I personally heard from the doctors they should usually make it 10 times a day! just concentrate on your food habits as it is mother feeding. If you are feeding 10 times it is normal with 10 times

No harm and worry until and unless he is active and playing! Just concentrate on your intake of foods

 

Is the poop runny? If yes, i would worry. take him to another doctor. If its normal, give it another couple of days and take him to a doctor anyway. Any sudden or unexplained drastic changes needed to be checked.

 

Ashwini... Is he getting teeth. Some babies during teething throw up or do more potty and sometimes runny. If your doc has cleared him I would not worry.

 

When my DD was infant, she had problem of constipation and Dr said It's normal if babies who are in exclusively on BF do potty once in 14 days or 14 times in a day.
If they are in solid food then it's a problem.

 

My dd had diarrhoea for 12 days when she was < 5 months old and the end of it, she cut her first tooth.

Check his gums. Also make sure he isn't running a temperature. Keep him hydrated by feeding him and ride it out if the doctor says it is nothing to worry about.

If he has a rash, you might want to attend to it by washing him with warm water while cleaning and gently patting dry. Also leaving him without a nappy for 10- 15 min after after each bout of diarrhoea will help heal any rash.

Think about the ingredients of the rice gruel. Did it have sugar? Sugar causes the bowels to loosen in an undesirable way, I think. Did it have milk? Though rare, some people are allergic to rice. You might want to introduce some thing else like say, mashed carrot or potatoes. Hope your little one is fine soon.
