If the poop has been runny for 2 days, and I mean RUNNY, like water, I would see your doctor.

He could have a virus. Make sure he drinks lots of fluid, increasing your bottle/breastfeeding sessions to keep him well hydrated.

At this age, the essential key is to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated.

I am not a doctor. I do not diagnose or prescribe.
When in doubt, give Doc a shout!
