Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
What your paediatrian said was perfectly right. Loose motion in infants take longer time to stop.Normally 15 days. If he passes 10 motions per day with good urine output then don't worry. If motions are frequent, with fever and decreased activity then consult your doctor. You can give vitazyme and prebiotic to treat loose motions.
Continue exclusive breast feeding. No outside water.
Happy to help you

Thanks for review
Loose motions can be physiological (I.e. normal and with no pathology ) or due to viral infection.
Name of prebiotic is enterogermina. Without seeing patient prescribing medicines is not allowed and not safe. I am just giving you advice. Doses you can confirm from your treating pediatrician
Hope I answered query well

no zerolac for lifetime

Lactose intolerance is most of the times temporary. Occurring at the time of gastrointestinal infection.That time we advice no lactose formula for 2-3 weeks and again switch back to original milk.Zerolac doesn't contain all the nutrients required for organ development of infant.So it can't be given for lifetime
Since lactose intolerance is mostly temporary ,chances of recurrence are very rare
