Hello,
10-12 loose motions a day is quite serious condition for 6 months old baby. As you mentioned , You give him Cerelac, Fruits and breast milk regularly. So they might not be cause of loose motion but since you were traveling, some kind of bacterial or viral infection we may consider in this case.
First of all important task is to keep baby hydrated. Give plenty of WHO ORS solution and continue breast feeding as much as possible. Tru to avoid Cerelac and fruits till further opinion of treating physician. Then visit to your primary physician or Paediatrician as soon as possible for thorough examination and plan of treatment.

Thanks & Take Care,
Dr. Suraj D.
