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 any digestion problem or any infection. need of probiotxics (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 immedixately because it can be dysentery also.

A. It's normal for newborns to pass frequent watery stools. Newborn intestines do not absorb food very well, and much of it is excreted into the stool. After the first few months, absorption improves, resulting in thicker, less frequent stools.u can ask doctor for medication
