Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I am surprised to know about diarrhoea in a one day old infant. This diagnosis needs to be relooked into.

Lactare is given to lactating mothers and is believed to increase the milk flow. It is not a pharmaceutical preparation and has not been reviewed.

Kindly let us know the composition of LAC FID to guide your further.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
