Question
Is it suitable to mix probiotics with rice cereal for consumption? If the baby does not like to drink probiotics directly, are there other ways to eat them?
Answer
Probiotics can indeed be mixed with formula or rice cereal, but one should be cautious not to use water that is too hot, as this may destroy the activity of the probiotics. If the baby does not have any special conditions, such as diarrhea, constipation, or imbalanced gut flora, there is usually no need for special probiotic supplementation. If supplementation is required, it should be done under a doctor’s guidance. After the baby is six months old, it is appropriate to gradually introduce complementary foods to promote the improvement of gastrointestinal function.
