Question
Can probiotics be considered to improve the condition of newborns with jaundice symptoms?
Answer
Probiotics contain abundant digestive enzymes that can effectively break down proteins and emulsify fats, aiding in the digestion and absorption of food. During the metabolic process, probiotics produce a large amount of organic acids, stimulating intestinal peristalsis, which in turn promotes the baby’s digestive function. Therefore, for infants with intestinal problems, it is recommended to take probiotics. From the moment of birth, bacteria from the environment begin to settle in the baby’s intestines and skin. If there are too many harmful bacteria and insufficient probiotics, the baby’s resistance may decrease, and they may easily suffer from recurrent constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion during growth. Establishing a balanced gut flora environment is crucial for a child’s growth and development. Parents should actively supplement probiotics to help their children quickly establish a strong and stable intestinal environment.
