My 7 month old daughter has had loose stools today a total of 6. They are green and the last one had small white bits it it. She is on soy formula. She has just finished a 20 day course of antibiotics due to a stubborn ear infection. Your help is appreciated. J.L

Hi,

It's very common to have loose stools after antibiotics due to loss of gut flora. It's better you continue with your feed and start probiotic.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lingamurthy Itha, Pediatrician
