As in one of our posts, MiGS has had problems with spit-ups and gas. The wonderful staff at Valley Health Mill has suggested using Udo’s Choice Infant’s Probiotic Dietary Supplement. It is an all-natural supplement that:
- Contains 7 infant & toddler-specific bacterial strains at an appropriate strength, designed specifically to reflect healthy infant microflora
- Provides B. infantis, the most important micro-organism in the large intestine of babies & toddlers
- Facilitates healthy weight gain in infants
- Powder format has been designed to be added to formula, water or other liquid after it has been heated
- Contains 2 billion viable/active cells
- More importantly, promotes better food digestion and nutrition
This supplement provides the “friendly” microorganisms (probiotics) that help protect us from “unfriendly” ones such as bacteria, yeasts, and fungi that cause disease. They also improve immune system function. Such probiotics come from many natural primary sources.
During birth, probiotics from the mother's birth canal colonize the infant's gut (unless the baby is delivered via C-Section like MiGS), and thereafter are provided by mother's milk. After infancy, probiotics are supplied to us by raw foods (grown on uncontaminated soil); lactic acid bacteria-fermented foods such as yogurt and cheese; and probiotic supplements like this product.
