baby and using probiotics?

Posted by: Alan in Probiotics, tags: Baby, Probiotics, Using

We have a doc appointment on Thursday and I plan on asking the doc but I wondered if probiotics would be safe to help my 2.5 month old with his tummy/gas trouble or is he too young? Anyone have any experience with this, if so what did you use? Thanks!
unfortuneatly I’m not breastfeeding My son started teething basically at birth and after a month of trying our best we stopped. I still get upset about it..anyway..

Are you breastfeeding? I am and I took probiotics to help my daughter with gas. It worked wonders. I never gave it to her directly though, but I think I have heard a doctor say once that you could put it on your nipple to get to the baby, but again, that’s if you are BF’ing.

This is the brand l took:

Have you tried Gripe Water or Gentle Naturals Tummy Soothers?

The Tummy Soothers worked REALLY well for us.
