thanks for asking
i gone through your question, and understand your concern,
your 11 month old baby having diarrhoea for last 2 days, today she passed black watery stool.
if i was your treating paediatrician , i would advised you Oral rehydration solution (To prevent water deficiency in body), Antibiotic (as the colour of stool is black suggestive bacillary desentry), and Zinc.
so give oral rehydration solution (available with out doctor proscription), and meet pediatrician and tell him/her about colour of stool.
