Out of the misunderstanding: probiotics can form a biological barrier in the intestine, reject and inhibit harmful bacteria, produce substances beneficial to the body, promote digestion and absorption and intestinal peristalsis, and enhance human immunity. However, mothers and fathers will have some misunderstandings in the process of giving probiotics to their babies. Misconception 1: Baby diarrhea is good, no need to take probiotics Baby diarrhea recovery period, the stool can not immediately return to normal, often less digestive stool will continue for several days, at this time should continue to take probiotics. By regulating the intestinal flora, probiotics can not only protect the intestinal mucosa and inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract, but also help in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Therefore, it is recommended that babies continue to take probiotics for 1-2 weeks after their diarrhea stops. Myth 2: Yogurt can replace probiotics The clinic had seen that a breastfed 6.5 months old baby had difficulty in defecation and dry stools, and the mother fed her baby yogurt with the purpose of supplementing probiotics. She considered yogurt as food, at least safer than medication. As a result, after two feedings, the baby started crying, had diarrhea, blood in the stool, and worsened eczema-typical of a milk protein allergy. Babies should not receive fresh milk or its products until they are 1 year old. Yogurt is also a fresh milk product. Myth 3: Probiotics are probiotics, so they can be taken for a long time When babies have gastrointestinal infections and take antibiotics, they can take probiotics for a period of time according to the doctor’s prescription, but it is not recommended to take them for a long time or as health supplements. Warm tip: For babies within 1 year old or who have a history of milk allergy, when taking probiotic preparations, be sure to pay attention to whether the preparation contains milk, and do not choose yogurt and other milk products instead of probiotics.
