It has never been proven that breast milk is not good for baby. As baby is 5 months plus, focus more on weaning food (semisolid) and contiNue your feed. Most important to see that baby is gaining weight well.. if baby is gaining weight as per chart, do Not worry about the increased frequency of motions. But , all said and done, best advice can be only given by pediatrician, who has seen your child.
