Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Watery stools ,not reducing, I would suggest think about all the food that was started recently. Was there any kind of change in milk that has happened recently.

Even if your formula milk has not been given in proper proportions of water and powder will cause these problems.
Hope Oral Rehydration salt is given . Not the home made. Definitely you will find the reason by yourself.
I find this answer helpful
