A. If your baby has passed stool 6-7 times in one day after previously having only 1-2 stools, it could be diarrhea or loose stools. Here’s what you should do: What to watch for: Is the stool watery or very loose? Is there any blood or mucus in the stool? Is your baby showing signs of dehydration? (dry mouth, no tears when crying, fewer wet diapers, lethargy) Is your baby vomiting or having a fever? Immediate steps: Keep your baby hydrated: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding frequently. For babies under 6 months, breast milk or formula is usually enough. Avoid any new foods or juices that might upset the stomach. Monitor diaper output: Make sure your baby is urinating regularly. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent diaper rash from frequent stools. When to see a doctor urgently: If the stools are very watery and frequent (more than 6-7 times in a few hours). If there’s blood or mucus in stools. If your baby shows signs of dehydration or weakness. If your baby has a high fever or vomits persistently. Since your baby is very young, it’s best to inform your pediatrician as soon as possible so they can check if any treatment is needed. If you want, I can guide you on how to care for your baby at home while monitoring symptoms. Would you like that?
