Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Your pediatrician is not wrong in advising you yo stop bottle. Is ORS being given to baby after each feed loose motion? Do read my article it may help you."Loose Motions or Acute Gastroenteritis" by Dr. Poonam.M. Sambhaji - https://www.practo.com/healthfeed/loose-motions-or-acute-gastroenteritis-17704/post
