Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Self treatment in a one month baby should not be done and cause of diarrhea in a one month old baby should be found out and prevented.
It is unlikely for a month old baby to diarrhea unless there is transmission of infection via the nipples or utensils.
It is normal for a baby to have 4 motions a day.
Clean the nipples before breastfeeding.
If bottlefed then see the utensils are well cleaned.
Consult a Pediatrician for further diagnostic tests, management as required.
