Brief Answer: relax. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. Diarrhea is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days. Sometimes infants pass increased number of stools due to gastrocolic reflex which settles of its own. I do not suggest carmicide drops. Give probiotic for few days and continue with breastfeeding. Watch her activity,feeding pattern,urine output and in case there is any refusal of feeds/decreased urine output/lethargy get her examined by pediatrician for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Wishing your baby good health. God bless..

Brief Answer: hi. Detailed Answer: Continue with medication as advised. Give probiotic along with it. XXXXXXX area gently after each stool and let it air dry. Avoid diaper and in case you use it change it frequently. Apply coconut oil each time after cleaning. She will be fine in couple of days. Take care..
