What is the recommended dosage of probiotics for infants?
Probiotics have important regulatory effects on both babies and adults. For people with insufficient gastrointestinal function development, constipation, and weak spleen and stomach, probiotics can be used for physical improvement. Babies must pay attention to the reasonable dosage of probiotics, which is about 5 grams at a time. Babies under six months can take half a package, and babies from six months to one year old can take one package per day, preferably before breakfast. When giving probiotics to newborns, it is best to use a 10ml probiotic powder containing bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Bifidobacterium. Newborns should take 5ml at a time, three times a day. Use warm water or milk below 40 degrees Celsius to dissolve it. Babies need to adhere to taking probiotics. If you want to establish a normal intestinal flora, it is best to adhere to it for one to two weeks, which can last until the baby's digestive tract symptoms disappear! The benefits of drinking probiotics for newborn babies:
1. Promote gastrointestinal digestion and nutrient absorption. Newborn babies have poor gastrointestinal digestion capabilities and cannot digest many substances. As newborn babies' gastrointestinal tracts have not yet formed a complete healthy flora, drinking probiotics can help their gastrointestinal tracts form a flora in a short period of time, which aids in digestion, decomposition, and absorption of nutrients from these foods.
2. Improve intestinal immune function. The intestines can also get sick. Children's own intestinal immune function is relatively weak, which can also lead to intestinal infections. Probiotics can promote the growth of specific cells in the intestine and stimulate immune function. This can improve the child's intestinal immunity and has a certain preventive effect against intestinal infections, respiratory system infections, and other diseases.
3. Improve diarrhea. Newborn babies' stools are liquid, and newborns have a large number of bowel movements per day. This situation is related to the incomplete intestinal flora of newborns. They cannot fully break down nutrients, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, spitting up milk, and constipation. Drinking probiotics can help with intestinal digestion and relieve diarrhea.
