A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea: One of the most common reasons for "loose stools" in toddlers is drinking too much juice. True diarrhea is when there are >4-5 watery stools/day- usually from a stomach virus or acute food reaction. Some common food intolerances may cause less serious symptoms- ie. Mild lactose intolerance. Watch to see if there are specific foods that aggravate her digestion. Call your doctor if not better.
