Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Majority of loose motion in children are self limiting and usually caused by rotavirus infection.
If there is no signs of dehydration and baby is accepting feeds well then unlikely the baby will require hospitalization. All that baby will need is WHO Recommended ORS. Continue giving regular feeds.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
