Hi there, am thinking of starting my 8 month old fully breastfed baby on probiotics to see if it helps with his "happy chucker" spilling issues, just wondering if anyone here has there little one on a probiotic and if so which one and would you recommend it? There seems to be soooo many different brands out there
Thanks |

I've had my 20 month old on probiotics on and off since he was 6 months old. I use the Inner Health Plus brand in powder form. There are several formulas... the natropath I saw recommended the adult powder for my son's constant antibiotic use. There is also a kids formula and a immunity formula. I mix it into his cereal each morning. Just make sure the cereal is cold otherwise the heat kills the probiotics. ------------- |

Hi - I have used probiotics to successfully help both my babies with their reflux and tummy problems.
If your baby is fully breastfed then I would recommend that YOU take the probiotics - the inner health plus ones are fantastic, and they do have a dairy free variety too if you are off dairy. The probiotics pass through the breastmilk. However I also used to give DS1 the Inner Health Kids probiotics directly - he would just eat the powder off the spoon without any problems but you can mix it with breastmilk to make a paste. |

I've been giving DS Natures Way Primadophilus for Children, TBH I haven't found it to make any difference with him. And at $50 it wasn't cheap.
I think I'll opt for the Inner Health one next time. -------------
