Bland food, like chicken, rice and broth usually helps settle queasy tummies. Has anyone been giving her plate food that she shouldn't have, on the quiet? Has she been wormed yet - stool problems are often due to worms?
I'd recommend you call the vet - preferably the one you intend to register her with for longterm healthcare, and who's doing her vaccinations. Most vets will give phone advice free of charge, or ask you to bring the dog in for further check-ups. If you got her at Chritmas, she should already have had her initial check-up - did you comment on her diarrhea then?

The food you have her on may be too much for her stomach at this point. Stick to a high quality puppy food or if possible what the person you got her from was feeding. All dogs will have some level of diarrhea the first few days in a new environment due to changes. It may also be a health concern like parvo,giardia or worms. I would try switching to a milder food,offer her yogurt with her food and take a trip to the vet:>)

It's probably worms or another parasite - Very common in a pup that age...
Take her and a stool sample to the vet to be checked.

The pup needs to see a vet.
Pups dehydtrate quickly and can actually die.
