Baby food does tend to give smaller looser stools than normal. But I've
never heard of someone having this type of reaction. However, if it is
only when she gets baby food, then my suggestion is to stop for a while,
and if it doesn't recur, don't give the baby food.
"Doctor, it hurts when I do that!"
"Don't do that."
Works every time.
With kindest regards,
