Your baby suffered bacterial gastroenteritis with dehydration for which he was hospitalized and now continued on oral antibiotics and zinc. For soft stool with very little water you need worry as it will not cause dehydration. If baby is getting dehydrated with watery stools (lose motions) then you will need to give him ORS to prevent dehydration. Also add oral probiotics like Econorm which will help in colonising GIT with beneficial microorganisms and may help in normalising stool consistency.
