If this is normal frequency for her, nothing to worry but if the frequency has increased, you need to be careful. It may be due to gut infection. As of now, keep giving her lots of oral fluids, give soft diet curd, khichdi, banana etc and be watchful.

Naresh nothing to worry. If motions are not watery, no vomiting. And if child is passing good amount of urine. Suggest maintain hydration by giving lots of fluid orally, normal diet. Your child should pass urine every 4 to 6 hourly.
Next Steps
In case of vomiting, increasing frequency and quantity of motions and if child is inactive get her examined by local doctor for dehydration. In case motions are with blood then need to start antibiotics
Health Tips
Watch for urine out put, activity
