A. if you are giving only breastfeeding then there very less 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. also give both hind and fore milk during breastfeeding as only fore milk will increase diarrhoea and green stool. need of probiotics (sachet superflora gg oncez a day can be given) and zinc has to be evaluated. in the meantime kindly continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydration. you can givez 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. This is completely normal so need not worry about it you can see the same scenario up to the age of six months to 1 year also once you introduce semisolid food things are definitely going to be either the same and can change both the things and as per the age are completely normal
