Brief Answer: relax. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. Loose motions are mostly viral in nature and takes few days to settle. Most important is to maintain and monitor hydration. Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stools. Give probiotic 2 times a day. Also give coconut water,curd,lemonade,rice porridge,mashed banana,boiled potato. Also I suggest you to get stool examination done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help further. Wishing your baby good health. God bless..
