Stop bottle feeding and breastfeeding if given.
Give just 2 milk feeds using a glass and 4 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in addition to whatever you prepare at home.
Give ors after every loose motion if watery and add Enterogermina vial one vial twice a day for 5 days.
If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or fever or dullness and refusal to feed,consult your paediatrician.
Stop all supplements,use a healthy balanced diet to fulfill his daily requirement.
