Kindly mention of your baby.
Passing 1-2 times watery stool is not diarrhoea. So nothing to worry.
Passing watery stool multipe times (depending on age) defines diarrhea. Depening on hydration staus of the baby, which needs to be evaluated fluid correction in the form of ORS or intravenous correction is to be given.
If it 2-3 times only, no need of any medication.
