Why does a 2-month-old baby have watery stools?

Watery stools in a 2-month-old baby are normal because at this age the digestive system has not yet matured and only consumes liquid nutrition (breast milk or formula). In breastfed babies, stools are usually mustard yellow, watery, and grainy; in formula-fed babies, they may be dark yellow or greenish and pudding-like. Watery stools are normal because the baby's intestines pass the nutrition quickly.
However, I recommend consulting a pediatrician if:
- Stools contain blood, mucus, or foam
- Fever, vomiting, or discomfort accompanies the stools
- No wet diapers for longer than 8 hours (sign of possible dehydration)
- Watery stools show a sudden change or come very frequently
Otherwise, watery stools in a 2-month-old baby are an expected part of development.
