Accepted Answer

if you are giving only breastfeeding then there very less possibility that slightly loose to semi solid stool may be present intermittently.

if you see that it is totally watery and also you are giving outside milk then it is advisable to get the child examined by the doctor to rule out any digestion problem or any infection. 
also give both hind and fore milk during breastfeeding as only fore milk will increase diarrhoea and green stool.
need of probiotics (sachet superflora gg once a day can be given) and zinc has to be evaluated. 
in the meantime kindly continue breazstfeeding to prevent dehydration. 
you can give ors also if water loss is more
if there is zblood in the stool then kindly meet the doctor immediately because it can be dysentery also.

Accepted Answer

Breastfed babies often pass more than 6 stools per day. Until 2 months of age, they may pass a stool after each feeding. But, if stools suddenly increase in number and looseness, suspect diarrhea. If it lasts for 3 or more stools, the baby has diarrhea.
