Hello. Weight of the baby is proper for her age. Colour of the stool is not that important if blood and mucous is not present in stool. She might be suffering from watery diarrhoea which is most commonly due to viral etiology and will improve in 5-7 days if hydration is maintained properly with ORS.
Next Steps
Get a stool R/M if required.
Health Tips
Watch for dehydration. Ensure baby is passing urine regularly and is not dull, sleepy or fussy
