Answer: I encourage you to breastfeed yr child . Probiotics, although has been proven in certain condition, is not recommended for newborn. Breadtmilk is enough. Especially with many types of brand out there, i advise you to be careful with claims made by certain companies.Breastfeeding babies mmg by 2 bulan or so berak jarang jarang. Once in 5-6 days sometimes. Normal sekiranya najis lembut. Ramai breastfed babies mcm tu and it is a known FACT. Melainkan najis keras, jumpa dr.
