2 Month Baby, Green Stool. Prescribed Bifilac Sachet, Acidity, No Motion. Safe For 3 Month Baby?
Hi, my 2 month old passed green stools for 3 days and then nothing. Pediatrician has prescribed bifilac sachet (1/2) twice a day for 3 days. I started only today but read that its not safe to give bifilac for infants less than 3 months. should I discontinue use? Baby passs gas and cries a lot, but doesn't pass motion. Please advice.
what is your present problem.is baby having loose stool or contipation.excessive crying at this age can be evening colic in which baby cries a lot during evening.for this place the baby for sometime on his stomach relieves him of gas present in the stomach or else you can use Colimex-df drops 6-8 drops sos. baby can pass green stool no need to worry for it. if you are feeding your baby by bottle thn plz stop and give by bowl and spoon as bottle feeding is source of infection causing loose stool in baby. breast feeding is best.
Thanks for writing to health care magic. I can understand your concern.
Do not worry. Passage of green color stools is nothing much to worry about. Burp your baby after every feed. Hope you are breast feeding your baby. A breast fed baby may not pass stool every day. Colic is common in this age group and could be the cause of that excessive cry. Giving that probiotic sachet is not very important in this condition.
