Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
It is normal for the child to pass potty more number of times a day after starting weaning food.But since it is watery it seems to be gastrointestinal tract infection due to contamination.it could have gone from food , hands or vessels used.Give lots of water.it will take 5-7 days to become normal.
Sometimes babies pass loose stools due to food allergy. So with hold that food for 5-6 days
Happy to help you
Best regards
