Weight gain is good. No need to worry just because stools are loose for a few days. Track weight daily, activity level, urine (should pass 6 times a day), feeding . If any issues, mert a pediatrician. Baby is too young to treat at home

Hi,
Babies double their weight by 5 months ,so baby’s weight is adequate and passing stools 6-10 times/ day is normal.
