I tried florastor powder packets for a month and mixed it with applesauce. When my kids have tummy issues now, I give them the culturelle chew tabs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929191 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:40:32 +0000 bpcmarj 1929191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kodybear: I started to in July, when she was 26 months old. But, she is really really big for her age so she has been taking children's instead of infant doses of medicine for quite some time. We bought the CVS store brand because they were the cheapest and I am not really worried about them being the most natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929162 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:33:06 +0000 kodybear 1929162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i usually put it in her milk and just put less milk in the cup to make sure she drinks it all. </p> <p>@bpcmarj: when did you start giving the chewable ones and which brand? my daughter will be 2 later this month and i would like to give her a daily probiotic but the powder is too expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929149 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:29:35 +0000 bpcmarj 1929149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO gets a chewable one. She is 2.5. I need to be better about giving it to her daily, but she likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929116 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:11:38 +0000 birdofafeather 1929116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take the scoop and mix it in a smaller glass of water than she normally drinks. sometimes she doesnt drink it all at once, but i keep offering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929109 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:10:03 +0000 SeptMomma12 1929109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: It's a powder. Applesauce is a great idea - he always finishes that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929108 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:09:35 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1929108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pediatrician suggested yogurt as a probiotic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929095 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:03:43 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1929095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought the Gerber drops, 5 drops a day. Haven't started them yet but shouldn't be too hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929090 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:01:24 +0000 mediagirl 1929090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how yours came but we would cut our pills open and mix them into a little bit of applesauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-give-your-lo-probiotics#post-1929080 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:57:22 +0000 SeptMomma12 1929080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you give it to them? My two-year-old LO has been alternating between constipated and diarrhea, so I'm going to try some probiotics to regulate him a bit. I bought one at Whole Foods (Udo's Choice) that says to mix in with water, but what happens if he doesn't drink all the water? How do you give your toddler probiotics? </p>
