Do you give your LO probiotics? Why did you decide to do so and which one do you use?
-
We do. With as many ear infections as my son has had the antibiotics mess up his stomach as does teething and since it doesn't hurt, we just keep him on it. We use Florastor Kids since it is allowed to be put into warm bottles whereas Culturelle is only supposed to go in cold drinks.
-
@pelikila: do they all need to be mixed in with drinks? i can never count on my LO to finish her cup of milk so i am not sure how much of the probiotic would get ingested?
-
@Andrea: No, you can mix it in with food too.
-
Florastor Kids, only when the Dr advises us to do so (when on antibiotics).... not otherwise
-
@NYCaliMama: is this after you are done with a round of antibiotics?
-
@Andrea: concurrently just to prevent diarrhea while on it. When antibiotics are done we stop the florastor too.
-
@NYCaliMama: thanks! maybe my LO doesn't need it as she hasn't had diarrhea on antibiotics yet ....

We currently are not, but as I posted in the other thread, we are looking at GUTPro if we do go with a probiotic. I'm waiting to consult our pedi GI and pedi allergist at his next appointments before deciding.
