Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 2 months old baby, has frequent bowel movements, stool shows bacteria, pus cells fat globules and positive occult blood. Pediatrician gave antibiotics, changed the milk and got alright to be repeated after about a week.
This indicates that there is a source of infection at the source, may be in the container, the nipple or the milk powder.
You will have to change everything, check them all and try to find the source of infection that the baby is getting from.
The problem will be solved.
Also needed may be the probiotic. At the age of just 2 months, the intestines are getting used to the bacterial flora adjustment.
