I need to start my daughter on a daily probiotic, hoping it will help regulate her system. If your child uses one, which one do you use/where do you get it? This doesn't seem to be a super common thing in my area, so none of my IRL friends have any idea s:)

We use Culturelle. You can get it in the packets and then mix in their drink. I've found it at CVS.

We also do Culturelle. I've gotten deals on buying multiple boxes from diapers.com. I mix it in my LO's milk.
-
We used florababy starting at around 7 months. Think it's made by a company called Renew Life. From Amazon.
-
@Adira: @Pancakes: ditto! I get ours from Amazon, but it looks like it's cheaper from Target.
-
We have done culturelle and florastor powders but currently do a gummy one we get from Target because it's just easier. Lo is 3 (the minimum age.) for antibiotics we will do florastor as well.
-
We do Rainbow Light gummies

@Adira: Does Logan take them now too? I'm assuming I can start Kara on it now since it says 1 and up?
-
@snowjewelz: I've given it to Logan ever since he was 4 months. Whenever he was on antibiotics, I would give him 1-2 packets a day mixed in his bottles. Now I just give him yogurt though.
-
We use Biogaia Protectis with Vitamin D (http://smile.amazon.com/BioGaia-ProTectis-Drops-Vitamin-D3/dp/B00NAG7AF4/). One medication instead of two to add to my nipples or daycare bottles.

I think I'm going to get some Culturelle kid packets and I'm going to try the milk test (it should thicken milk if left overnight).
This seemed to have confirmed it but I think I might try it out for myself.

I used to use Culturelle, but now Target carries their own brand, and its like the kid's culturelle and much cheaper!
-
@Pumpkin Pie: Cool! I'm going to stop by the pharmacy or Target (if I have time) and see what their prices are like before I buy off Amazon.
-
: @bluestriped bee: I feel like the better brands would need to be refrigerated but I don't know if that's true. I got Some from a health food/natural food store, this brand. http://www.gardenoflife.com/content/product/why-choose-raw-probiotics

Has anyone noticed a real difference after giving probiotics? I'm specifically interested about helping constipation. I was giving LO the generic version of Culturelle and it didn't make a bit of difference. It's still so expensive that I stopped buying it.
I do feel like probiotics have helped me with mild digestive issues. I just take the Trader Joe's brand.
