If having wet diapers,not vomiting,drinking fluids well,and no blood in stool,mostly let it run its course.If is eating solids,give more binding foods (Bananas, rice).If nursing,continue that and if on formula,and it's cows milk based,sometimes is helpful to change to lactose-free formula.No meds to stop it.If not improving or if worsening, contact baby's doctor.If eating well,no vitamins.
