It is mostly seen in some babies to have 4-6 motions.But we should be concerned that the motion is ok,no watery,no foul smell.
Fever is a normal process which weget in frequent loose motion.
how ever apart from the mentioned features of stool it is ok if baby is active feeding well and not dehydrated.
In addition to that we must makesure that feed is digested well,the infection mostly happents due to teething and mouthng habits of the baby.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
