(More customer reviews)When my pediatrician first suggested that we use probiotics for our daughter's "colic", I was hesitant. I didn't think it would do anything at all, and I was unsure about giving my newborn a substance other than breast milk. The pediatrician's instructions of "dab some on your nipple before feeding" were not quite feasible, so after a few tries and having it stick to my fingers and not my breast, I gave up.
Then we switched pediatricians...When my daughter was 5.5 months old, we decided to give her oatmeal cereal. You know, the kind you buy in a box. Our daughter LOVED it, but her digestive system did not. She cried and was in so much pain for days. When we went to our new pediatrician about this, he recommended 1/2 tsp of probiotics 3 times a day, mixed in food, water, breast milk, etc. This made a lot more sense than dabbing it on my nipples! After a few days of this regiment, our daughter was back to her old self. We slowly cut down her probiotics to 2 times, then once a day. Now, we only give it to her when she eats something new that we think will affect her system or if she's had a lot of gas, diarrhea, or constipation. We used to mix it with breast milk, but all of that pumping was annoying, so now she gets it in water.
So if your little one is crying like crazy and you think it might be some digestive thing, just give 1/2 tsp. of these probiotics with about 2 tsp of water, breast milk, formula, etc. and in now time he/she will be back to normal!!
