Several days is usual. Try giving lactose-free formula or, if breast feeding, avoid milk till stools normalize.
Babies with a stomach virus can sometimes have diarrhea that can last up to 2 weeks. Sometimes symptoms in certain babies can last up to 4 to 6 weeks. The key is to make sure that they are still hydrated and to let the body fight off the infection on its own.
