Teething resulting into loose motions is a myth . Loose motions or diarrhea can be due to other reasons but not due to teething.

Its myths that teething cause diarrhea or cough, it is infection which cause. Child at this age puts all things in mouth which cause infection..
Give mother's milk more and consult pediatrician if diarrhea is more.
