Two weeks of loose motion means baby has got some infection or it might be due to lactose intolerance. The stool sample only can detect for infection if there is any bacteria. Based on that they will provide you with antibiotics and probiotics feed your child with plenty of water and reduce the amount of milk.

And feed her solids avoid sugar because it may induce loose stool. The rash developed in her bum is due to loose stools. If they suspect lactose intolerance to physician will provide you with milk substitute which doesn't contain lactose.
