Hi,
Loose watery diarrhoea may be secondary to food poisoning or viral infections. Mostly you only need to keep your body hydrated by taking a lot of fluid, better is ORS. But if it's too much I would advise you should go to ER for assessment as sometimes IV fluids are needed. It's better to go to ER also to discuss the less baby moments. But don't get panic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
