Question

I'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?

While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

Question

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?

Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my son a Limcee chewable tablet once a day since he often gets a cough. I've heard vitamin C helps with immunity. He's 7 years and 6 months old. Would this be safe and effective for him?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my baby's skincare routine. Is it safe to apply baby lotion and then use Mamaearth dusting powder on their face? I'm unsure if the combination is okay for sensitive skin. What do you advise?
