probiotic question

[Anonymous]

has anyone noticed probiotics to make your LO worse? I was taking them so McKenzie could get them through my BM, but I thought, maybe that wasn’t enough so I gave her just a tiny little bit last night. It is weird, she seems more calm when nursing, but she wants to nurse longer than ever…and when I take her off the breast she cries and it is almost like it is from a big bubble inside of her…she was burping well before yesterday…I don’t know if I should give her them again tonight. So I guess what my question is this: did it take your LO a few days to adjust to the probiotic or were they fine from the start? I am now wondering if I take us both of probiotics if she would do better? Has anyone had this experience? I know while i was taking the probiotic I had terrible gas(TMI I know..lol) and today I feel much better…maybe they have the opposite effect on my family?

I tried giving probiotics to both of my kids, a refluxer and non-refluxer. Does your daughter have milk or soy problems? If so, check out the label. Many probiotics have milk and/or soy in them.

The probiotics seemed to make my ds, the refluxer, worse. He is MSPI, but the one I gave him had no milk or soy products in it. The only ingredients were Bifidobacterium infantis and maltodextrin. My ds seemed to not sleep very well when I was giving him probiotics. Maybe from gas?????

I left my dd, non-reflux, on the probiotics as it seemed to help her bm’s. She tends to have runnier bm’s.
