Hi, It is a very rare case when infant purely fed on breast milk can have diarrhea, breast milk is full of antibodies & it protects the infants against diseases & also diarrhea. Lactose sensitivity is often seen in formula-fed infants. Breastfeed your baby & continue to give him the medications prescribed by the pediatrician. Make sure he is well HY Chat Doctor.  The mother should be cautious about what she is eating as the baby may develop food allergies on behalf of the food taken by the mother.  Till the baby is not fine to take boiled food, avoid spicy oily junk food, avoid dairy & soy products & also eggs since you are breastfeeding. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
