Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

If she don't have fever, stool is not blood stained, and she is active and playful, nothing to worry. Just give her ORS solution (or salted rice water) in small frequent sips after each stools to avoid dehydration. Also, withhold the said baby food for a while.

If symptoms not improving in 2-3 days or she become lethargic and not feeding well, kindly take her to doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
