Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns. Poops of babies at this age may vary a lot in terms of frequency, colour, and consistency. Most of the diarrhoea episodes in infants are due to viral gastroenteritis which do not require antibiotics. If your baby's poop is not having any blood or mucous in it, then there is no need for any antibiotic such as Normet.

You may take the following measures to help her:
1. If she is on exclusive breastfeeding, than its very good as breast milk has antibodies which can fight many gut infections. Continue regular feeds, she will be fine.
2. If on formula feeds, try to regularly feed her to prevent dehydration. Also take a very good care of hygiene in the preparation of feeds and feeding bottles or vessels.
3. You may give her acetaminophen drops in case of fever episodes.
4. Start her on zinc syrup for early recovery from diarrhoea.

Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me.

Take care
Dr. Archana Verma
