Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what your child had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, such stool frequency is though on higher side but may be due to teething the child tends to chew at everything which increases the exposure to bugs and infections so that may be one of the causes. Also weaning may add into stool color changes and increased frequency.
If paediatrician have seen the child then any dangerous complication like dehydration etc would have been excluded. You may continue with supportive treatment along with probiotics and oral zinc supplementation. Wishing your child a speedy recovery. Regards
