Your diet will NOT cause loose motions in the baby,contrary to common belief.
Number of motions vary from 10-12 a day to just one motion after 2-3 days in babies up-to 3-4 months of life,and the consistency of stools should be soft and formed.
Maintain strict hygiene in feeds,give only breastfeeds,but if forced to give top milk feeds,use only formula,and give feeds by katori and spoon.
You may add Enterogermina vial half vial twice a day for 5 days.
If not improving OR if accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or abdominal distension or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician asap.
