Hi, My baby is 6 months and 3 days old. He is passing loose motion around 6 times since yesterday evening. His doctor prescribed Nutrolin 5 ml twice a day and to continue only breastfeeding. Is Nutrolin an antibiotic? And I feel that breastmilk is not sufficient at this point of time as he feels hunger frequently and chews his fingers out of hunger. Please suggest any additional food to introduce him at this stage. Thanks, Yyyy
Hi, Nurtrolin is not an antibiotic. It is a probiotic, please. You are right - breastfeeding is the best. At this age, you can start giving Carla stage one rice or Nestum rice stage 1 etc. All are same in calories and energy. Only thing is palatability which is subjective for each kid. Other home-made food options will be - 1. Deal and rice well cooked and made into a oatmeal along with ghee2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.3. Any made cereal oatmeal preparation with additional ghee added. Remember certain principles like - 1. Add one food material/cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhea, we will know what to avoid.2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhea. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
