Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child is 6 month old and is passing stools 5 to 6 times per day, and the stool is watery.
A 6 month child can pass stools 5 to 6 times per day or may pass stool once in a day, both these things are normal. But the stools should not be watery and should not bother the child.
Since, your child has watery stools on taking formula milk, it seems that your child has probably some allergy to that formula milk.
In my opinion, you should change the formula milk to some other brand, it will solve your problem.
If after changing formula milk, the problem persists then we have to think of cow milk allergy and start the child on lactose free milk.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
