5 to 6 motions, semi solid in nature, not associated with fever, blood and mucus. It's considered normal in children.Stop cow milk temporarily for one week and see the result, No need of any medications right now.
Next Steps
Keep a watch on urine output. If stool frequency increases and urine output decreases, if motions are watery and big in nature,then consult nearby paediatrician.

Hello parents
Try to avoid cow milk for now, could be given after 2years. Otherwise semisolid stool 5 to 6 times is absolutely normal. Just look for baby's weight gain and urine output . That's all
