Loose motions (diarrhea) after starting solid foods can sometimes be common as your baby's digestive system adjusts to new foods. However, if it persists or if your baby seems unwell (such as showing signs of dehydration, persistent crying, or lethargy), it's important to consult with your pediatrician promptly.

Here are a few tips that might help:

1. **Check Food Introduction**: Make sure you're introducing new foods one at a time, waiting a few days between each new food to observe any reactions.

2. **Consider Food Choices**: Some foods may be harder to digest initially. Start with easily digestible foods like rice cereal, pureed fruits, or vegetables.

3. **Hydration**: Ensure your baby stays well-hydrated with breast milk or formula. You can also offer oral rehydration solutions as per your pediatrician's advice.

4. **Monitor Symptoms**: Keep track of how often your baby has loose motions and any other symptoms. This information will be helpful when discussing with your pediatrician.

5. **Consult with Pediatrician**: If the loose motions continue or if you're concerned about your baby's health, it's best to seek guidance from your pediatrician. They can assess the situation and provide appropriate recommendations or adjustments to your baby's diet.

Each baby is different, and some may take longer to adjust to solids than others. With proper guidance and monitoring, you can help ensure your daughter's transition to solid foods is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
