Continue breast feeding the baby more often preferably every time he has increased stool output . Stop antibiotics and continue only econorm . Watch his urine output and signs of fever or lethargy . Otherwise no need to worry .

3-4 times a day is quiet normal. Let him be. Continue breast feeds.

At first- it’s not dysentry. And stop all antibiotics. 2-3 times stools is normal in baby if passing urine adequately and no fever. Kindly monitor temperature. Donot use unncesessary antibiotics- that causes more harm for the kid.
Next Steps
Avoid guests and take COVID precautions
Health Tips
Breastfeed the child adequately. And give ORS. If multiple episodes of stools, reduced urine output, fever , blood in stools etc - KINDLY CONSULT IMMEDIATELY
