Accepted Answer

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) andf zinc has to be evaluated. 
in the meantime kindly continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydration. 
you can give ors also iff water loss is more
if there is blood in the stool then kindly meet the doctor immediately because it can be dysentery also.
