Hello!
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Loose motion or diarrhea refers to the frequent passage of stools which are loose and watery. Watery bowel movements are very common and are usually not very serious.The condition is more frequent in children.
If your daughter has no pain,vomits,fever,mucus and pus in stool,blood in stool than you don't need to worry.
If the diarrhea last more than 3 days or has any of the above symptoms you should consult a pediatrician.
Meanwhile you should avoid the dehydration due to frequent diarrhea by giving her plenty of fluids.
Hope It answered your query.
Take care.
