Hello nagapradeepgm,
welcome to HCM
Cremaffin Plus is a paraffin syrup it is a laxative usually given for fissure.
Its use should be limited to one to two weeks during breast feeding, since it may interfere with vitamins absorption, so the milk may be having lesser vitamins
Your baby is more than 7 months old he might be taking other formula foods apart from breast milk, which contains vitamins, so it wouldnt be a problem.
Bye
