Can antibiotics affect my baby poo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Antibiotics will usually kill off some of the beneficial bacteria that usually reside in the intestines and may permit the overgrowth of other germs or yeast. Loose stools are common with antibiotic use. Probiotic products can reduce the effect by providing new helpful bacteria.
