Half fix or whole?: If I understand the probiotic increases frequency of bowel movements but not the hard consistency. Question: "Is this okay?" In short, probably it is. Consider, what precisely told you that one hard stool every 3 days was a problem for your child? Was the baby fussy? A lot of pain moving gas and BM? A distended abdomen, or any other symptom? If those things are better, IT IS OK. Namaste
