Common: Rice cereal is on of the agents I use to slow down poops in a kid with loose stools. It & applesauce are natural constipators. Reduce the quantity or just stop it. Five mo is a bit early. If the kid is not sitting they are not quite ready to do solids well . They are not as nutritious or balanced as formula or breastmilk.
