Hello. Could you please specify Any other complaints along with the loose stools. Is the child on any sort of top feed/bottle feed? If yes then what milk? Please specify colour, smell presence of blood/mucus. These will be helpful to diagnose your child.

If baby is exclusively breastfed, then 6 to 8 stops per day is normal. No need of ORS. Continue exclusive breastfeeding.
