Probiotics

Another question today...

We are finally getting over an over supply / foremilk hindmilk imbalance. B's stools are back to yellow and he seems satisfied after feedings again.

During our issues he was super uncomfortable from gas etc. and it was suggested by a LC to try probiotics to help with digestive discomfort as most formulas add them for the same reason.

He is still uncomfortable, just not as much so I'm wondering if I should try them out.

Anyone have experience with them? What kind did you use? Did you notice a difference?

    No experience with it, but waching, my poor LO is really struggling with gas and I am thinking I need to cut dairy from my diet. Ate a bunch of ice cream last night and little man is really uncomfortable and gassy today. :(

    LO is on cutrelle kids packets. We've had pertussis and he was having a lot of discomfort from the antibiotics. He does 1/2 packet twice per day in pumped breast milk before I nurse him along with a bunch of other meds!

    I'm pumping and supplementing with enfamil AR formula. It seems to be working best for us, but it is thicker than many others out there which is helping us control my LOs appetite. He's a power feeder and doesn't feel full before he actually is.

    My midwife recommended BioGaia for my gassy little one. I found it helped. Seems to be a really great product - from what I read.


    These are now renamed gerber colic drops, right?Available on amazon or at walgreens?

    I'm using Jarrow baby probiotics. We mix it in with his formula once a day. You can also sprinkle it on your damp nipple if you bf. I've been on antibiotics due to a skin infection so he gets the antibiotics too if he drinks from me. Not sure if he gets probiotic benefits from me though. We're both taking them. I take 2 different ones myself (alternating days), and he just has the Jarrow brand baby version, which has to be refrigerated. Be careful if you try to buy it on Amazon though, the reviews say it doesn't come refrigerated. I found ours at Whole Foods (had to drive an hour to get there!) and it was on sale. I bought 2 containers of it for him.
