She is probably stressed from the teething so just try to make her as comfortable as possible.

My daughter actually had really loose stools and high fever while teeting and her doctor always advised me that as long as she is not doing it excessively and I keep her hydrated that everything was going to be alright. What I use to do was give her pedialite to make sure she didn't dehydrate and freeze some bananas or a big chunk of mango or pineapple and have her suck on it to numb the pain on her gums. This worked for me, but the most important thing is that I always asked her pediatrician first.

I remember very well the teething stages with my kids. I think it might be because of her teething, but a trip to the doctor is a really good idea anyways after 4 days. Your baby could get dehydrated, so be careful. Also, while teething...their defenses seem to be down a bit and they can easily catch colds/flu/infection. Be sure to give her lots of liquids and keep a close eye. I hope she feels better soon :)

this is very common. while teething she produces a lot of saliva which can soften stools. and only 4 times a day is not a lot at all. just make sure that she is drinking lots of fluids to keep hydrated

Most likely it is because she is teething those are very common teething symptoms as well as running a low grade fever. If you are worried though give her pediatricans office a call.

I would ask the doc. My son had some nasty diapers, but never 4 times a day! Make sure to give her some pedialite so she doesn't get dehydrated. If you can't get pedialite, give her tons of water.

You definitely need to take the baby to her physician. IF she is sick for four days it does not matter what is causing it but that she can be made to feel better. Get her in immediately to see the doctor.

Gripe water may help with this. I used it with my daughter and it worked wonders. No it doesn't contain alcohol. Yes people think this. Everything in it is all natural.
