Thank for you query at health care magic.
diarrhea in young babies are common. it occurs due to infection which goes with milk or touching the baby with unhygienic hand.
once it start it may last for 5-7 days usually and 14 days maximum. if it is lasting for more than 14 days then we suspect any malabsorption syndrome.
your child has diarrhea for only four days which is not sever enough to cause dehydration, than there is no need to worry. Just give exclusive breast feeding, syp zinconia 2.5 ml once a days and enterogermina 1/2 ampule twice daily for 7 days. if child has decrease urine frequency, develop excessive irritability, or lethargic, not taking oral feeds then you have to admit the child in hospital for management of dehydration and infection.
Hope this information will help.
