Brief Answer:
Feed frequently
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
A 3 month baby can pass stools once in a week or may pass stools 4 to 5 times in a day. Both of these things are normal.
The stool should not be watery and foul smelling. In these condition, an examination by doctor should be done to rule out infection.
Green colour of potty is also normal. But it should not be daily.
Feed child frequently to prevent dehydration. Start prebiotic like Enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days.
If no improvement in 24 hours then get child examined by a doctor.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
