Clear liquids only, no dairy. Try Pedialyte, Gatorade, diluted apple or pear juice, and of course water. It won't hurt her to give up formula or even breastmilk for a day or two until things settle down (but you'd need to do some major pumping if she's nursing. Think of it as a chance to stockpile.). Usually the next step is the BRAT diet--Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. If she hasn't started food yet, check with her doctor. Definitely call the doctor if she gets a fever. Good luck!

She should be fine soon. But if it gets really bad you can call your dr. But it sounds normal to me. my son had bad diarrhea when he was teething. you can give her a little bit of applesause and make sure she stays hydrated. She should be fine soon.
