Hello,
It could be due to viral gastroenteritis most probably. As of now continue breast feeding and give ORS. Most of them settle by themselves without definite treatment. If symptoms persist or incase of symptoms like fever or blood stained stool, better to consult a pediatrician start on antibiotics.
