This appears to be because of teething only even if the first tooth is yet not visible. Teething starts around 6 months of age. Some children get it by 9-12 months also. Teething symptoms start appearing even before the tooth is visible. This could cause irritability because of pain and discomfort due to inflammation and soreness. This can cause disrupted sleep and drooling also. And the child tries to put everything in the mouth to soothe their gums and this causes mild diarrhoea.
Next Steps
Consult a pediatrician if- there are profuse watery stools , blood and mucus in stools, associated vomiting, high fever, poor feeding or refusal to feed, signs of dehydration like dry lips or mouth, sunken eyes, decreased urine frequency, drowsiness, no tears while crying.
