I'm really worried about my 4-month-old. After every feeding, they seem to have loose motion, and I've noticed it's a yellowish color. Plus, theres some coughing happening. Could this be something serious? What can I do to help my baby?

Your baby may have gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. For loose motions, you can give your baby oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can also give probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

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

My baby's lips have started turning a blackish color over the last couple of days. She's eating normally, and everything seems fine in that department. However, she's passing liquid stool, and I'm concerned it might be related to the heat here. Could you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

It's good to hear that your baby is feeding well. Blackish lips can sometimes be due to dehydration or a lack of oxygen, but its important to monitor if this persists. The liquid stools could indeed be due to the heat; keep her well-hydrated, and if the symptoms continue or worsen, Id recommend a pediatricians consultation for a thorough checkup.
