Hi all I have been reading on here about probiotics. Do they also help with gas and what is the dosage the babies should have daily. What is the benefit of them?

I would assume that they will help with gas as they are working on digestion. Each product tells you how much to give. Ours has a scoop in the bottle and that is what you use. The benefits are endless. PM Sheri (MFPIX2) as she is the guru around here that is if she doesn't answer this thread too. HTH.

Ok that is good to know. I ordered the ones from Klaire labs and hope they will help with his gas. I will contact her if I do not hear from her. Thanks for the help. |

I beleive the Klaire labs probiotic (one of them, anyway) is one that Sheri uses for Paige. She alternates b/t that one and the one we use which is ProBio Gold by Kirkman labs. The probiotics helped my boys get rid of GI yeast overgrowth. It also regulated their BM's and made them the right consistency (before it was either constipation or runny poo, never a normal poo!) so they can help with many GI related problems.
HTH

Do you give the probiotics on a daily basis? I know it says to on the bottle but I wanted to see what everyone else's experience has been. Ethan had a semi runny poop today, and yesterday it was really thick. So hoping for a happy medium.

Hey there.. I use probiotics too. Yes, give them daily and you may have to give them for quite some time before you notice results... up to a month even..

Does anyone know if there is a probiotic out there that is a Gummy version? We are using the powder with Taylor but she hates it. Alexis is taking the chewables and doing fine with them but Taylor doesn't understand the chewables and tries to swallow it whole. She is really good at taking gel tablets or gummy vitamins just wondering if I can find probiotics in this form instead.
