Baby Boy Wont Go Poopie!!!!

I am soooooo frustrated! My 4 month old son is not having regular bowel movements and no one seems to care! I've talked to my pediatrician and haven't really been able to resolve the issue.

Diarrhea - What to Do

Hi- My daughter is 10 months old and has diarrhea ever since we were at the doctors office for her check-up a week and a half ago. She did not receive any vaccines however, she did receive her first dose of the flu shot. She has no other signs of being sick, ie; no fever, still eating well and over all good spirits. I am not sure what to do. She is eating table food in addition to being breast fed four times a day. Any suggestions about what to do would be great. Thank you!!
