Green watery stools can be normal in breastfed newborns if baby is feeding well, active and passing urine normally.
Please give the medicine exactly in the dose advised by your pediatrician.
Usually for Enterogermina liquid vials, 2.5 ml twice daily or 5 ml once daily used depending on the preparation and doctor’s advice. Do not change the dose on your own.
Next Steps
Continue exclusive breastfeeding and watch for warning signs like fever, poor feeding, vomiting, blood in stool, decreased urine or excessive sleepiness. If any of these occur, consult your pediatrician immediately.
