Probiotics??

Does anyone give their babies probiotics to aid with digestion? Does it help with constipation?

    We've given DS probiotics for about 2 months now.  They have worked wonders with him!  He suffered with constipation for the first time this week but because of a new medicine.

    We do.  We use Life Start infant Bifidum by Natren.  He was always kinda gassy so we switched from Similac Sensitive to making our own goat's milk based formula at 6 weeks old and the recipe includes the Life Start probiotic.  When he seems to be gassier than normal or his poops are dry and pellet-like we add an extra dose of probiotic to one of his bottles each day until he's back to normal; for that we use HLC Neonate Probiotic by Pharmax.  We haven't had an issue with true constipation either before or after the probiotic so not sure on that issue... it does help within 24 hours when his poops are drier and pellet-like.

    good luck!

    My Formula and some of the cereals I have bought (and have yet to try) have probiotics in them.  I noticed that he seemed to poop more regular and easier when one the probiotic formula.
