Hi,

Babies who are breast fed pass multiple motions which are golden yellow in the tune of 10-12 because of gastrocolic reflex.This is considered as normal ,so your baby passing 4-5 times should be considered as normal.

The infection in babies should be associated with fever,not feeding well ,not gaining weight and abnormal stool test.In your baby non are present then he would not require any antibiotic(cefiet) or probiotic (enfloor).

I would suggest you meet up with his pediatrician before administering such medications.

Regards
Take Care.
