Hi....what you quote is normal. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Do not use antibiotics. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
