Is Sporlac powder safe to give to a 5-month-old baby who has had green, watery poop for two weeks, and if so, how should I give it to him?

Asked by Male, 25 · 17 days ago

While Sporlac (lactic acid bacillus) is a probiotic often used for diarrhea, two weeks of watery stools in a five-month-old is a long time and requires a pediatrician's evaluation before starting. Please do not self-medicate, as infants can dehydrate quickly. In the meantime, continue frequent breastfeeding or formula feeding to keep him hydrated. Please consult your pediatrician promptly; they will examine him and provide the correct dosage of lactic acid bacillus or other treatments if needed to help him feel better soon.
