Pediatrician 's  Response
Dear parent,
As per your description, it seems your child is passing frequent motions due to gastro colic reflex. Which is absolutely normal. give her boiled and filtered water.
If the child is taking food, water, passing urine and motion, playing and sleeping at ease there is no need to be worried.
But the child being too small be vigilant.
I find this answer helpful
