Still using probiotics?

I know a number of other moms on here were using probiotics for their babies. We have been using the Gerber Soothe colic drops since about six weeks old. I am nearing the end of a bottle and considering stopping them to see how it goes.

What is everyone else doing about probiotics?

    I have a bottle of probiotics (Gerber) that I've used a few times. My LO has been fussy/possibly gassy lately so I'm going to try to start using them more. I'll probably use them until LO is able to get good bacteria from foods such as yogurt...
    On a side note Gerber has a formula that uses the same probiotics but it's actually already in formula. I haven't tried it before but it's nice to know it as an option if ever needed. :)

    Nope. Just seemed to not do as much after a while.

    breast milk contains probiotics... So I'd say it's important for babies. I supplement with formula so I personally think I should be giving them to LO more than I am. (Not all formulas have probiotics).
    Also, my pedi said probiotics are fine to give to LO on regular basis...

    We started using baby jarrowdophilus (sp)at 7 days old because I developed a really bad infection in my CSection - I was on antibiotics for 3 weeks. We EBF but We have continued to use them, they seem to help her be less gassy & she is more regular as far as the bathroom goes.
