My son going for poop after every feed
Hello Doctor,
My son is 7 weeks old, from last 1 week he is going for poop after every feed either it from Mom milk or from Formula 1 milk.
After consulting pediatrician, he gave powder(sporalc) to control it, unfortunately didn't work, so he asked to change formula 1 milk powder from Aptamil to Dexolac Nusobee.
After also no change in the situation, we send his poop for laboratory test, in the result everything is normal.
We are not able to figure out the reason why he is going for poop 8 to 10 times in a day.
Only change I can observe is we increase feeding milk quantity from 40 ml to 90 ml per feed.
Can any one give me some suggestions pls ???

If the baby is gaining weight then nothing is to be done.
Lactose intolerance is one possible cause.
