Hello,
It's very common among infants to have loose stools especially during the weaning period that is when foods other than mother's milk are introduced. It takes some time for them to adjust.
In the meanwhile, there is no need of any antibiotic. Continue econorm powder and isomil powder. Discontinue nestum rice for 2-3 days. If the baby continues loose stools even after 3 days, then you may have to consult a pediatrician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
