Babies on breastfeeding pass many stools. That's fine. But if stools are watery, then it may concern. Give Zinc syrup 10 mg daily for 14 days ORS if baby is dehydrated. If topfed, then check if formula is prepared properly. If baby looks sick, immediately consult a pediatrician
Health Tips
breastfeeding is best for baby. check if baby is growing well on growth chart after 6 months give solid foods in addition to breastfeeding.
