Hi...do not worry about weight. 80% of the body weight is water and when there is diarrhea and the body loses water, obviously the weight will come down. But make sure that the baby is not dehydrated....by looking at these signs. Low urine output/ excessive sleepiness/ loss of skin turgor. dry tongue etc. if these are normal...you need not worry. Otherwise I suggest you see your pediatrician.
