Hi,
I understand your concern.
Explosive stool in an 8.5 months old baby is due to foods/drinks introduced to her as long as no abnormality and no infection was found in her stool.
Try to introduce food gradually, give time up to 3 or 5 days to see her bowel movements before introducing new food to her.
Her GI tract is still imature and needs time to fully digest.
Hope this helps.
