Hi, I can understand your concern.

Infants gets intermittent diarrhea till the age of two but it is mostly viral. Passing motion five to six times a day doesn't need any medication when not associated with any other symptoms like vomiting, refusal to feed, fever, lethargy, excessive crying etc

Watch for signs of dehydration like dry skin, tongue, decreased amount of urine etc.Keep perianal area dry and clean to avoid rashes or exfoliation.

Feed your baby well and keep him hydrated. Consult pediatrician if any other symptoms arise.
Hope this helps you.
