Hard to say: The frequency and severity of diarrhea is really important to know. If she is having frequent diarrhea or seems to have any pain in stomach, or if she has any blood or mucous in the stool, she needs to be evaluated. If not, I would recommend starting a probiotic and monitoring for a few more days and if not improving, take her in.

Maybe/not: Looser stools can be a simple mild gut virus or something she has not digested well. The color doesn't add any info as it is part of normal. If she acts well, it should pass.I like to use applesauce and fresh mashed bananas to firm these kids up. If it gets too freaky have her seen.
