Hello. Welcome to HCM. As a breastfeeding specialist i would recommend you to give baby plenty of fluid. Especially breast milk if you nurse. Keep as long as you can your baby at the breast, in order to get all the hind milk he needs in this time. The baby should not be dehydrated. You should check your diet if you are nursing. Sometimes antibiotics have side effects like watery stools. I would advice you to speak again to your pd. Also, You can give your baby some banana or some rice cereal. Keep baby warm and well dressed. If you have another question don't hesitate to ask me.
