Probiotics

[Deleted User]

Has anyone used them for LO or yourself? I asked the pedi today if I could give some to DS and she recommended BioGaia. I didn't think to ask her what would be ok for me to take.
I'm hoping this will help DS with his stinky poops. The MSPI diet has helped with color and gassiness but I feel like he could still improve.

I've taken the align probiotics before when bfing more for me than lo but they helped me.

Yes to both, I just take a generic aphodhilis from CVS.  We give DS Florastor Kids (it comes as powder, she gets it in 1 bottle a day) you have to ask for it behind the pharmacist counter.  Our pediatrician said that supplements aren't regulated here in the USA, but other areas like Canada and Europe they are regulated and Florastor sold there.  I did read in Baby 411, that as a cure for colic some 80% of parents noted improvement when babies use probiotics vs a low percentage of baby's on gripe water. Florastor's website is very detailed and they have a coupon.

I started giving them to LO when he was about 6 weeks old. He has reflux and was colicky, and i swear the drops made him 90 better. I still buy them and give if he gets constipated or if his reflux acts up. Expensive but they have been worth it for us. BioGaia.

Thanks for the responses! I am going to try to pick up something for DS at least tomorrow.
