After becoming a mother, the baby is sick more often and can become half a doctor. What should I do if my baby has diarrhea? Take probiotics! What if your baby is constipated? Use probiotics! What about baby eczema? Still need to use probiotics! Probiotics can regulate the gastrointestinal system and improve the immunity of the body! Can probiotics really cure all diseases as mothers think? How to give baby probiotics to have an effect? According to the current medical research, it can only be proved that: 1. probiotics have obvious effects in the prevention and treatment of infectious diarrhea and antibiotic-related diarrhea in children. 2, for irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis and other diseases, probiotics may have the effect of improving the condition. 3, but as for the publicity can relieve infant colic, enhance immunity, treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, eczema and other effects, there is not enough evidence can prove. Only in these two cases to the baby to take probiotics is beneficial 1, diarrhea (diarrhea) The baby will catch a cold will diarrhea, eat inappropriate diarrhea, any cause of acute diarrhea will cause a large number of probiotics lost, may cause the imbalance of intestinal flora, supplement probiotics can make the intestine to re-establish the balance of intestinal flora, maintain intestinal health. Reminder: During the recovery period of diarrhea, the stool may not return to normal immediately. And by adjusting the intestinal flora, probiotics can not only protect the intestinal mucosa, but also eliminate harmful bacteria in the intestine. Therefore, it is recommended that after the baby’s diarrhea, it is best to continue to take probiotics for 1-2 weeks, so that the beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract quickly occupy the “lost ground”. 2, taking antibiotics Baby may use antibiotics because of infection. Antibiotics are powerful, but because they cannot distinguish between harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria, if your baby takes antibiotics, they will kill the probiotics as well as the pathogenic bacteria. So, this is the time when the doctor will recommend to give the baby a probiotic supplement to re-establish the micro-ecological barrier in the body. Reminder: Antibiotics is a “burnt worm”, it only recognizes bacteria, regardless of harmful bacteria or probiotics, as long as it is bacteria it will kill. Therefore, it is recommended that when taking probiotics, do not take them together with antibiotics. The two drugs should be taken 2 hours apart to ensure that the probiotics do not kill the antibiotics. Probiotics how to eat? 1, warm water brewing water temperature of 35-40 ℃, do not use boiling water brewing, that will “scald” probiotics! When brewing, first adjust the water temperature, then the probiotic powder into the warm water to ensure the activity of the flora. After brewing is also not suitable for reheating, the same principle, high temperature environment probiotics, the activity drops to zero, only a bunch of bacteria “corpse”, drink down also has no benefit to the body, rather than not drink. 2, 20 minutes after eating probiotics are best taken after 20 minutes after meals, because the concentration of stomach acid is reduced after meals, more conducive to let the live bacteria smoothly to the intestinal tract to play a role. Food into the stomach can consume most of the stomach acid, more conducive to let most of the probiotics alive into the small intestine, otherwise even the selected probiotic strains have been determined to reach the small intestine will inevitably suffer loss, so that its effectiveness discount. 3, take within half an hour after brewing Probiotics is a proud bacteria, can not afford to wait, either timely drink, or “he” will die quietly. So, probiotics brewed in time to take, time to put a long time, probiotics will die, so the effect of taking will be greatly reduced. Selection of probiotics need to pay attention to 1, if the baby is relatively small, try to choose bulk or granules, such as Pfeiffer, Mamma Love, Changlekang, convenient flushing. 2.If it is not convenient to go out and keep in the refrigerator, you can choose Mamma Love, room temperature storage can be. 3.If the baby has lactose allergy, you can choose Changlekang and Pefikang, which do not contain lactose. Taking probiotics, mothers often make the misunderstanding Myth 1: Probiotics can cure eczema Many babies’ eczema, in addition to the problem of too dry skin eczema, more is the performance of allergies in the body and then the skin. Taking probiotics can only play the role of balancing the gastrointestinal flora, enhancing the intestinal barrier function and improving the allergy symptoms. Probiotics are a supporting role to make other treatments more effective. The most crucial thing to deal with baby eczema is also to keep the skin moisturized and to avoid contact with allergic foods. But the fact is, because many mothers mistakenly believe that probiotics can cure eczema, and ignore the real need to do skin care and away from allergens, but delay the recovery of baby eczema! So, baby eczema must be, first look for allergens and away from, then moisturize the skin, and finally consider whether to supplement probiotics. Myth 2: Probiotics can enhance immunity Babies are weak and love to get sick, many businesses see this business opportunity and promote the concept of “long-term use of probiotics, can improve the body’s immunity, baby less sick”, but improve intestinal immunity ≠ improve systemic immunity. From the perspective of preventing intestinal diseases (such as bacterial gastroenteritis), probiotic supplementation in the right amount can indeed protect against these diseases and enhance intestinal resistance. However, probiotic supplementation only changes the micro-ecological environment in the intestinal tract, and does not affect the immune system and enhance the systemic resistance. Warm tip: Probiotics are not a panacea, not all babies need to take probiotics, if the baby is healthy, eat well and sleep well every day, there is really no need to take probiotics. But if your baby is suffering from diarrhea or taking antibiotics for a long time, taking probiotics is a good way to improve.
