How to take probiotics for babies? How to take probiotics for babies

When the baby has gastrointestinal discomfort, many parents will take the initiative to add probiotics to the baby. However, many parents do not know how to add probiotics correctly. Today I will teach you how to add probiotics to the baby.

How to take probiotics in powder form

For infants and children weighing 22 to 45 catties, take one bag a day with cold water or beverages (below 24 degrees). Do not add hot water. After opening the bag, it should be used within one hour. It is not recommended to feed it in multiple times. For some babies with particularly sensitive stomachs or younger babies, they may have more stools when taking it for the first time. You can consult a pediatrician.

There are cases of discomfort with any food. Although this probiotic has a good reputation and is widely accepted in North America and Europe, some babies may not adapt to it. If your baby is uncomfortable with it during the use of the product, please stop taking it immediately. The baby's discomfort symptoms will generally return to normal after stopping the use.

How to take probiotic drops

Directions:

There are many ways to use this product. Now let me share with you some mothers’ experiences.

The bottle is designed to stand upside down vertically, so it is easy to drip out.

1. It can drip into the bottle, but it will hang on the inner wall and is difficult to wash.

2. You can drop it on the nipple, and then it will be sucked into your mouth.

3. You can drop it into the nipple and then screw on the bottle. The baby can suck it without bloating the bottle.

4. The best way is to drop 5-6 drops on a small spoon at a time and then feed it into the mouth.

Many babies will cooperate and finish eating.

Take five drops a day and each bottle can last for about 2 months.

How to maintain normal intestinal function

A balanced and nutritious diet.

Healthy meals and snacks contain protein, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, dietary fiber and other nutrients needed by the human body, which can fully meet the physical needs of children without the need for any additional nutrients. In terms of diet, be careful not to eat too cold or too hot food, and avoid overeating.

Get enough sleep.

When the body is in a state of fatigue, it is difficult to resist the invading germs from the outside world. High-quality sleep can repair and adjust the immune system to a certain extent, which helps to improve the child's immune system.

Regular work and rest schedule.

Most adults have this experience: they often suffer from constipation after overeating or staying up late. For children, because their gastrointestinal development is not yet complete, they need to maintain a natural and regular schedule.

A sterile but not sterile living environment.

The SARS outbreak in the country seven years ago has caused disinfectants that should only be used in hospitals or large public places to enter households. Bacteria play a vital role in the development of human immune function. If there is no opportunity to come into contact with bacteria and the surrounding environment is too clean, the intestines cannot mature. Families stop using any chemical disinfectants and let children come into contact with bacteria in moderation. A small amount of bacteria can enter the child's intestines, which is very beneficial to the establishment and maturation of his intestinal immune function.

Breastfeeding.

It is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers to clean their nipples before feeding, because when the baby sucks, he can eat the bacteria on the mother's nipples and the skin around the nipples and in the milk ducts, which is beneficial to the establishment and health of the baby's intestines. Formula milk feeding is a sterile operation. The bottles and nipples must be sterilized at high temperature before use. Bacteria will not be introduced during feeding. Although formula milk manufacturers will add active bacteria ingredients to milk powder, it is far from the same level as breastfeeding. [Note: This is also one of the reasons why breast milk should be fed by breastfeeding instead of bottle feeding]

Do not abuse antibiotics. Antibiotics are only for bacterial infections, and are not a panacea for fever, cough, diarrhea, and hepatitis. If the cough and fever are caused by viral infection, antibiotics will not only be ineffective, but will also kill bacteria by mistake, destroying the normal flora, affecting the body's immune function and aggravating the condition. Only after laboratory tests have found that these diseases are caused by bacterial infections can antibiotics play their due role. Experts recommend taking probiotics two hours after taking the medicine, which can reduce the damaged bacteria and restore the intestinal immune function as soon as possible.
