Hi
Welcome to HealthCareMagic

Most likely your baby is suffering from viral diarrhea which usually takes 5- 7 days resolve.All the symptoms you mentioned ( fever come down, less watery stool ) are indicative of good recovery.It will take another 2-3 days for full recovery.Meanwhile watch for any symptom in presence of which you need to worry like less urine, freq and large stool, high fever , dullness.It is common in recovery phase of diarrhea that baby passes stools after food, that is normal,it is due to fact that intestines have to recover fully yet.You can safely bath your child.
