A. 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 axny digestion problem or any infection. need of probiotics and zinc has to be evaluated. in the meanxtime 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. Hi the Child is suffering with loose motions and that’s normal maybe your child is having its teeth in the first place you check for that if that’s not the reason couple of times and suffered with stomach infection as well which is why they suffer with loose motions so in this case I would recommend you to consult your doctor
