Hello,
In this cases the highest probability is that this is a viral infection, especially if there is no fever or hight body temperature. This means that the best thing to do is to watch your baby and give her a lot of fluids and to replace the minerals and salts the baby is loosing with stools. Rehydrating is very important so please take the rehydrating preparations (tresol, for example). Also, avoid milk and oily and fat foods. You can give her soup with meat juice but not meat with fat, only red meat, boiled eggs and hard white cheese.
The virosis will complete its cycle so please be patient. With this simple precautions the situation will be improved in a few days. But, in case there is fever than maybe an antibiotic should be cobsidered.
Take care!
