How To Treat Dark And Loose Stools?

My baby is 1yr. old (12months). For last 2 days she is having loose motions. I don't know whether to call it as loose motion but she is having toilet 3-4 times a day. Toilet smells badly. Also colour of toilet is Blackish Green, Yellow and also it is sticky.
Please let me know what kind of food shall i give to her.
I normally used to feed her milk, Dal/Rice, Fruit(banana/Apple), Khir etc.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

It is loose motions if it is watery otherwise it is not loose motion, 3-4 non watery stools can also occur in viral infection . Color of stool apart from blood is not important in case of diarrhea .
Feed your baby rice, banana, curd, rice, suji, daliya , khichdi ertc. , continue what you are feeding ,it is OK .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing your baby good health.
