Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Gnorm is a probiotic and is very much safe in children.
If the baby is not having other symptoms like Pain in abdomen, distension of abdomen or loose stools then there is no cause for concern and does not require further treatment.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
