Continue enterogermina and zinc drops for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks you can consider shifting to formula feeds. Some formula feeds can worsen diarrhea and make stools watery again and babies can even go into dehydration.

Do not stop breast feeding. Your child is absolutely normal and does not require any medication. This condition is called breast milk diarrhea. This is very normal that child who is on exclusive breast feeding may pass 10 times motion per day. You need to consult your pediatrician only when there is blood in stool. If your child is alert active playful accepting mothers milk and gaining weight 20 to 30 gms a day you need not worry about. Please continue exclusive mothers milk for first 6 months. No medical intervention is required. Best wishes.
