Should I be concerned if my 8-month-old baby has liquid stools with a little bit of solid and is rather sticky?

If your baby is having loose stools with some solid pieces that are rather sticky, it is recommended to keep them well hydrated. You can also try using a zinc cream with at least 20% zinc to help with any redness on their skin. It is only concerning if your child develops a fever or if there is a lot of mucus in their stools, or if this has been happening for more than a week. In such cases, it is best to consult a doctor to determine the exact cause.
