Hello.
First of all its normal for a 11 month baby to pass stool 4-5times a day.

You should check for these symptoms:
Consistency of the stool.is it ok or very loose or watery.
Is your baby lethargic.

You can give your baby fluids and ors.
If there is any sign of dehydration then you should visit a pediatric.
