A. yes so. loose stools are not to be panicked every time . Can be due to infection . So give ors solution to prevent dehydration . restrict milk in take in case of loose motions. Can give zinc and probiotics enterogermina 1-2 times a day . In case baby has pain or crying immediately see a doctor .

A. loose stools usually occur due to some infection or if chronic than could be some malabsorption. Initially you can give zinc supplement for 2 weeks and probiotic like darolac sachet for 3 days for two times a day. For any specific treatment with antibiotics,consult your doctor and maintain proper hydration with plenty of liquids like coconut water or ORS. can give khichdi,sabudana , mashed potato ,ripe banana, poha if the baby is above 6 months of age. if there is any stomach ache in a baby above one year of age drotin ds syrup can be given under medical advice.usually during the teething phase loose motion is commonly seen in the babies because children have a tswendency to put their dirty fingers into the mouth or any other object due to irritation in the gums.if there is fever calpol and for vomiting you can give domstal to your child in proper dosages under the supervision of your pediatrician.
