Hello Doctor, I deliver twin babies (baby girl and baby boy) in USA 3 months back we came to India last month.

His stool would be little watttery not to much and he is in formula feed. Plz advise me
No need to give Bifilac, though it is safe. Four to five bowel movements are considered normal in infants. Also, you have mentioned these are not watery. Probiotics need to add in diarrhea patients. Keep a watch if frequently of stools increased, if consistency changes, if urine output decreases if noticed dullness or irritability occurs then consider it diarrhea, start treatment after consulting doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
