welcome to healthcaremagic
if you think water content of the stool is more than the solid part consult paeditrician
6 to 7 times water mixed stool may be normal if the baby is accepting feed well
and maintaining hydration

Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Does he have fever or vomiting? You should be taking him to a Pediatrician so that he can examine him and rule out if he has a Infection. He may examine him and suggest, Blood and stool culture if necessary along with Blood and Urine Routine. Your baby may require antibiotics and anti diarrheals. Feed your baby ORS solution and plenty of fluids. Continue to breastfeed. Take him for regular follow up.
Hope i have answered your query, I will available for your follow up queries.
