Welcome to the Chat Doctor I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Infants are prone to wide variations in color, frequency and consistency of poops. If your baby is feeding well, afebrile, active, alert and color of stool is not red, black, clay colored or persistently greenish, then there is no need for any treatment. You may give him zinc supplement such as Zirconia or And for improving protection or immunity against gastroenteritis. Also, probiotics such as enterogermina will be useful in maintaining healthy gut flora. Ensure regular feeds with plenty of fluids to keep him well HY Chat Doctor. Hopefully this will be helpful. Take care
