A. as your child is less than one six months so you have to follow this if you are giving only breastfeeding then there is a 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. need of probiotics (sachet superflora gg once a day can be given) and zinc has to be evaluated. in the meantime kindly continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydration. you can give ors also if water loss is more if there is blood in the stool then kindly meet the doctor immediately because it can be dysentery also.

A. kindly give ORS(oral rehydration solution) for every episode of loose motion and give simple diet made from rice dal and khichdi curd buttermilk apple banana and the natural probiotics from the curd will help in decreasing the loose motion and if it is not improving in one or two days then kindly meet your doctor. Also you cannot give outside milk and cerelac also but you can continue to give breastfeeding if going on for next few days. Avoid giving sweet sugary food as well as maida and biscuits, xchocolate, icecream, packet foods cerelac. Other food which can be given are Poha daxliya upma mamra idli. Give sachet econorm twice daily for 3days
