Probiotics = Sleepy 6wk old??

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My DD#3 has reflux issues. We started her on a half dose of BabyBiotic to help with this. It seems to have cleared up the reflux after three doses. However, she sleeps heavily for about 12 hours after taking it. She nurses for about one minute maybe three times during that period and doesn't seem to have increased her daytime nursing to make up for it. She just wants to sleep. FWIW, I have oversupply and OALD, so a little time = a lot of milk, but still...

Her poops have been normal except for a few tiny, rubbery solids in them.
She's happy, very happy, and interactive for hours each day, and her fussiness at night is gone. She makes direct eye contact, plays, smiles and talks for up to an hour without break. Neither DS nor DD did this.

Today (day 4) no poop. So it's been at least 24 hours since her last poop.

We're not going to give her a dose tonight.

Any thoughts??

I much prefer the 3-4 hour bouts of nighttime sleep (dd#2 did that) to the constant fussy wakings, day and night, but I want to know that she's getting enough calories and hydration.

My guess, she feels great with the probiotic and is getting good rest. She seems healthy and happy as you describe her; happy, smiles, interacts with you for hours each day, sleeps well at night.

Anyways, if your worried, watch her urine output. That is a good indicator if she is getting enough fluids.
