Question

Does long-term use of probiotics in infants lead to dependency?

Answer

Long-term use of probiotics may not result in dependency, but it is important to understand the causes of infant constipation and take appropriate measures. Infant constipation can be caused by various factors, including insufficient diet, unsuitable food composition, and intestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to adjust the diet, increase fiber intake, and maintain regular bowel habits. If necessary, probiotics should be used under medical guidance in appropriate amounts to assist in treatment, avoiding long-term reliance.
