Like the answers? Consult privately with the doctor of your choice
Was he having any cold cough??
If the child is active taking feeds properly,good urine output,no treatment is required
Perhaps u might have introduced new food in his diet just check that
Otherwise no need for any medication
No antibiotics for sure it will worsen the diarrhea as the normal gut bacteria are killed

It’s perfectly normal for his age. Babies when on breastfeed pass up to 10-15 motions per day . Anything between 10-15 per day to once in 3-4 days is normal. The colour of poop depends on how frequent he is passing motion. It will be greenish if he passes too frequent. Any colour is normal except white.
