You should start oral rehydration solution . It comes as Electral which is WHO approved . Make a one liter solution and start giving this sip by sip with spoon . Baby must pass urine . Since there is no vomiting this will work well . If baby doesn’t pass urine due to dehydration you will have to go for IV therapy . Immediate concern is to avoid dehydration whatever may be the cause of diarrhea . Please make a video call to doctor , take guidance.
