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?
-
I'm not sure how yours came but we would cut our pills open and mix them into a little bit of applesauce.
-
I just bought the Gerber drops, 5 drops a day. Haven't started them yet but shouldn't be too hard!
-
My pediatrician suggested yogurt as a probiotic
-
@mediagirl: It's a powder. Applesauce is a great idea - he always finishes that!
-
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.

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.
-
i usually put it in her milk and just put less milk in the cup to make sure she drinks it all.
@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!

@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.

I gave Biogaia brand drops (now branded as Gerber) to my LO daily til he was about 18 mos old. 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.
