Did you give your infant probiotics? Did they seem to make a difference? I just bought the Gerber Soothe drops to try to help with gas and spit up. Anyone have any luck with that?

I've only given my infant probiotics when he's been on antibiotics for ear-infections. They definitely help with the diarrhea! We used the Culturelle packets that could be mixed with his bottles.

I used Biogaia with my newborn. I noticed a pattern of painful gas/screaming about 3-4hrs after giving it to her. So I stopped.

@Banana330: Eek, I think that's the one I bought. Were you trying it to help with gas?

Ya, a friend recommended it cause it worked well for her son. I didn't think it would negatively affect her, so just be aware. I've heard it can take a few days to start working.

Our pediatrician gave us a sample of those for spit up and reflux when R was maybe 4 weeks? She said they don't really seem to help most but worth a shot. Did not help a lick.

@winniebee: How did you give it to him? It says 5 drops on the boob, but how the heck do I get 5 drops to stay on my boob while she latches?!? My chair just got a nice dose of probiotics
-
@SeptMomma12: I put 5 drops on a baby spoon and just fed it to him.

We tried them when we were desperate. Unfortunately, we did not see any difference. But, I got them because it seemed like a ton of people had success with them! So, maybe they will work better for you guys.

When my daughter would get diarrhea and a diaper rash as an infant I'd give her florastor kids powder in her bottle. It helped for sure! I give it to her now regularly as a toddler bc she had on and off diarrhea and I totally notice a difference!
