Brief Answer:
If urine output is good - just continue breast feeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi...I understand your concern.

Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

Just continue breast feeding alone.

As the kid is above 3 months age - you can give Zinc supplements at 10mg per day, once a day for 14 days.

ZINCOVIT doesn't contain therapeutic dose of Zinc.
