Hello,
Your doctor had prescribed you an antibiotic i.e. Cefixime,a pain killer and ranitidine. Cefixime belongs to class of cephalosporins. Generally cephalosporins dont have excretion in the breast milk.So there are less likely chances that loose motions are because of that medicine.And also other two medicines you were taking doesnt affect your baby.
My suggestion is consult a pediatrician to know the cause of loose motions in your baby as it might be due to some infections.
Hope this is helpful.Take care of your baby.
Thank you.
