Hello everyone,

This question is about my baby boy ~6wk old. He is the one with the bad attitude subject of another post.

He is getting the same formula that my little girl Cassi is getting at about 1/2-2/3 the volume. Her stools are firm and well formed, but he has severe diarrhea. Pretty much just keeps oozing out of him and makes a mess of his belly. My question is what to do about it. He is the brother to Cassi and should be able to take roughly the same amount as her, or at least I would think. I am unable to weigh him due to his foul disposition, but he is similarily sized to Cassi who is getting 8-10cc 4x a day with a weight this morning of 183.5g.

Should I cut further back on formula until the diarrhea stops? BTW, Cassi is starting to eat grapes and avocado before formula feeding, but he has not touched anything solid left in his cage.

Any suggestions for his diarrhea and bad attitude are welcome.

Thanks
