Hi,
Look if your baby is having 6-8 loose Stool episodes in 24 hours and he is not dehydrated then it's fine. No need to worry much.
You need to ensure exclusive breastfeeding. And monitor if the baby is feeding well n not going into dehydration then it's fine. Treatment wise you should start giving: Susp. Zinc
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
