Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Loose stools may be due to some contamination or due to a stomach bug like a virus.
Give breast feeds frequently.
Give sips of oral rehydration solutions such as Pedialyte to prevent dehydration.
Consult the doctor for examination and further medication such as oral probiotic and zinc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
