Q: My 3 months old baby has been passing frothy potty for the last one week. Is this normal? He takes only breast-feed.

A:Frothy stools occur in babies who are breast fed frequently. The lactose in breast milk when digested causes wind and this causes froth in the stool. It is not a reason to worry. It is entirely normal.
