Tummy Soft contains digestive enzymes and a probiotic, which are generally safe for infants, and a one-time extra dose of 1 ml is unlikely to cause serious harm. Some babies may experience mild effects, such as loose stools or mild gas, but serious issues are rare. Since the extra dose was given at night, it is reasonable to skip the next morning dose and continue the regular schedule from the following evening, as advised by your doctor. Watch for unusual symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, or increased fussiness, and contact your paediatrician if any concerning signs appear.
