Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,

Most diarrhoea are usually viral and take 3-7 days to subside .you need to take care of hydration by giving ORS and liquids frequently to keep good hydration.
You need to be concerned if baby is irritable or dull , less urine passing, high fever ,large and frequent stools and presence of blood in stools or otherwise you feel baby is not OK. Colour of stool other than presence of blood is not much important.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions

Take care.
