Regarding loose motion
My one month old baby is having loose motions.. it happens 8 to 10 times in a day. Is it normal? I'm already giving sporlac sachets, Z and D drops and yamoo drops which is prescribed by pediatrician from 4 days. But no improvements. Is watery stool normal in one month baby?
Hi,
More detailed history required
Is your baby on breast feed/ formula feed
Next Steps
If on breast milk, then passing watery stool for 10-15 times is normal
Health Tips
If baby is active, feeding well and gaining weight adequately, nothing to worry if baby is on exclusive breast feeds.

Hi !
Is the baby breast fed ? Is he gaining weight? How is the activity ?? These a physician needs to know to answer your question.
But 5-6 times small amount stool can occur in a breast fed baby .. called gastro colic reflex.
If activity is good, sucking well and gained weight then no need to worry
