To identify diarrhea in a 1-month-old, you need to look at the consistency, frequency, and color of the stool. In babies this age, normal stool is usually watery, soft, mustard-yellow or greenish, and can occur 5-10 times a day depending on nursing frequency. Diarrhea shows itself as a sudden shift to even more watery, nearly water-like liquid, more frequent bowel movements, and the color turning to bright green. If the stool contains mucus (slimy appearance) or blood traces, if there's accompanying fussiness, fever, vomiting, or if the diaper hasn't been wet for 6-8 hours (signs of dehydration like dry mouth and sunken fontanelle), you should contact your pediatrician right away. Observing any sudden change in stool frequency and consistency is the most important clue.
