What Causes Loose Motion To A 2 Month Baby?

Hello Doctor,
My 2 month son is is having loose motion for the past few days. We gave him Colicaid everynight for the past 3-4 days. Could that be a reason for the loose motion? He otherwise is comfortable, just that the motion is a little loose.
Your answer to the query would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Amol
