A. Loose motion most of the time is because of some infection which could be viral or bacterial and in such case it is associated with symptoms like fever along with vomiting and loss of appetite . supportive treatment is very necessary where proper hydration should be maintained by giving ORS along with that probiotic can be given like enterogermina or econorm in a proper dose . Antibiotics has their role only if it bvfis bacterial infection . for this doctor guidance is necessary .

A. it depends.. loose motion probably will be because of indigestion issue.. keep baby well hydrated.. you can give oral rehydration solution.. apply coconut oil on tummy area and massage in circular motion gently.. consult the doctor if motion persists..
