Hi,
From history it seems that having frequent motions might not be due to GI infection as after few antibiotics problem persisted.
There might be some problem with feeding.
For few weeks give her breast milk only.
It is not clear that is she taking milk or other top feeding other than breast feeding.
Give her B.complex or probiotic drops as there is likely of having disturbed normal intestinal flora.
Consult pediatrician and seek advice about feeding.
Ok and take care.
