Because Lomotil (diphenoxylate/atropine) can pass into breast milk and cause sleepiness in a six-week-old, it is safest to pause breastfeeding. I recommend waiting at least 24 hours after your last dose before nursing again. Feeding your sweet baby formula in the meantime is a perfectly safe and excellent choice to keep her well-nourished. To keep your milk supply up, you can pump and discard your milk during this short waiting period. Rest as much as you can, and please reach out if you need anything else.

I understand your concern about your little one's diarrhea. While Econorm (Saccharomyces boulardii) is a helpful probiotic for diarrhea, taking it daily for a year is quite long. Since he is experiencing watery diarrhea specifically after drinking Zerolac, Econorm may not be solving the root cause. This reaction could suggest an underlying issue, such as a milk protein sensitivity, rather than just lactose intolerance. Please consult your pediatrician before continuing Econorm or changing his diet. They can safely evaluate his symptoms and guide you on the best next steps for his tummy. Sending gentle thoughts to your baby boy!

It is very common for babies to pass stool frequently, and their gut takes a little time to heal. Please complete the prescribed course of Econorm and zinc as directed, as they help restore healthy gut bacteria and speed up recovery. If you are breastfeeding, continue frequent feeds to prevent dehydration. If your baby has started solids, offer simple, easily digestible foods like mashed banana, rice mash, curd, and applesauce. Avoid sugary juices. Keep monitoring their hydration through active play and wet diapers.

For a 2-year-old with vomiting and diarrhea (often due to Gastroenteritis), the main treatment is fluids?give plenty of ORS. Econorm is usually given as one sachet once or twice daily, mixed with water or milk, but only as advised by a pediatrician. Continue light feeding (rice, curd, banana) and monitor for dehydration signs (less urine, dry mouth, lethargy). If vomiting is persistent, fever is high, or symptoms last more than 1?2 days, consult a doctor promptly.

Teething discomfort, mild post-vaccination fussiness from the MMR vaccine, or a minor stomach bug can all temporarily decrease a baby's appetite. Since Hapenz syrup and Econorm probiotic have not yet helped, please do not force solids, as this can cause food aversion. Instead, focus on keeping her well-hydrated with breast milk, formula, or small sips of water. Offering soft, chilled foods may also soothe her gums. If she shows signs of dehydration, persistent fever, or extreme lethargy, please consult her pediatrician promptly for a direct evaluation.

Diarrhea can sometimes take a few days to clear up. Please continue giving the ORS to keep him hydrated and finish the Econorm (probiotic) course as prescribed. Keep offering breast milk or formula frequently. Watch closely for signs of dehydration, such as fewer than six wet diapers a day, extreme fussiness, or lethargy. If you notice these signs, or if there is blood in his stool, persistent vomiting, or a high fever, please contact your pediatrician right away for a physical examination.
