Oh I really feel you on this, having a 2-month-old with loose stools is so worrying, especially when you are not sure what is normal yet! For formula-fed babies this young, the key thing is to keep feeding her as usual and make sure she stays well hydrated, most doctors say there is usually no need to switch formula unless the diarrhoea is really persistent, so just continue feeding but maybe offer smaller amounts a little more frequently. My friend brought her baby to the polyclinic with the actual soiled diaper in a bag, and the doctor was able to assess it on the spot, which she found really helpful, so that is a good option if you are concerned. At 2 months she is still so little, so do watch out for signs like fewer wet diapers, lethargy, or a sunken fontanelle, and please do check with your PD or polyclinic doctor soon just to be safe, as they will be the best ones to advise for your baby's specific situation.
