Welcome to healthcare magic!
Please continue the breast feeding, stop the syrup and avoid commercial formula feeds. Keep a close watch on hydration, get a rough idea of fluids lost in stools and replace it with cooked rice, added with sugar, salt and doi(curd).
At Kolkata you can get the Misthidoi- if you can prepare it at home or can get it from a hygienic shop then it would also help much, give as many times as the child passes motions.
Almost all cases in this age are of Viral origin so antibiotics are useless.
Ektu samay lagbe kintu mayta bhalo hoi jabe!
Besi ausadhgulo khati karte parbe.
And off course watch the vitals, if child looks too sick take her to hospital earlier.
I hope this advise would be helpful for you.
Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back,
I would be happy to solve them.
Wish you a great health!
