A. Loose motions after antibiotics in a 27-day-old baby can sometimes occur as a side effect. Antibiotics can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the gut, leading to diarrhea. It’s important to monitor your baby’s hydration, offering small, frequent feeds, and ensuring they remain comfortable. You may want to contact your pediatrician again to discuss the diarrhea, as they may adjust the medication or offer a solution like probiotics to help restore gut balance. If the loose stools persist or are accompanied by other symptoms like fever or dehydration, seek medical attention promptly.
