Question

How much probiotics should you give your child each time? Overdosing might worsen the child’s condition, causing parents to feel concerned.

Answer

Considering the delicate organs of infants and toddlers, discomfort may occur due to factors such as diet, catching a cold, or poor digestion and absorption. It is recommended to take probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. The dosage is one-third to one-half of a packet, taken twice a day, dissolved in warm water or with meals. Parents should pay attention to keeping the nipples clean and ensure hand hygiene after handling the baby’s stool. Since the baby’s stool condition is affected by the mother’s breast milk, breastfeeding mothers should also pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid fried and junk food, maintain regular eating habits, and reduce the intake of cold drinks.
