We used them whenever she had to have antibiotics. I asked about them early on because of food intolerance issues and my pedi was not comfortable with them until LO was 6 months old.

We use them when sick/fighting and after vaccines. Used them for the first time around 6 months when they needed antibiotics.

Yes, we used them when DS was about 4 weeks old and seemed to be having some refluxy symptoms. They were incredibly high quality and incredibly expensive haha. I would open the capsule into a small bowl, get my finger wet, and dip it into the probiotics. DS sucked the (small) amount off of my finger. We repeated that every feeding until his symptoms cleared up about a month later.

we started with them around 9 months to help with gut health with solids. she was EBF prior to 6 months, so i didn't think about giving it to her before then. i really like probiotics for myself. we got udo's choice.

We also used them during antibiotics. I'm not convinced that they helped though.

We started using probiotics (BioGaia) around 6-8 weeks when I had thrush (LO was asymptomatic).

We have used Gerber Soothe probiotic drops (same as BioGaia) from about 4 weeks in attempts to address her colic. I don't think it was a cure all but she has a little less gas, spit up & yucky poops when she is on them. I have heard it is also good for them to have probiotics when they get vaccinated but I'm not sure why that is.

I used BioGaia for my babe when he was a few weeks old to help with gas and also because he had thrush!

We've given it since 6 months, once she started water and solids. But our 1st ped was really Pro-Probiotics. Like he wanted me to give it to her since the 1st month, when we had thrush, and to mix it with water or the milk. He suggested Garden Life Raw Priobiotics for Kids, and we still have the same first bottle.
