DD is 11 weeks and I would like to give her probiotics. I am not doing dairy or wheat due to dd's gas. What brand do you mamas recommend? How do you administer the probiotics to infants that are exclusively breastfeeding?

We've been having luck with BabyBiotic brand for our 7 wk old dd3.
She's EBF and we mix it with just enough well water to make it flowable and give it to her with a dropper. You can also mix it with expressed milk, or let her take it from your finger in smaller doses.

We do Udo's infant and toddler. The dosage is quite a lot, 1/2 tsp. I mix it with water and spoon feed, but my DD is much older than yours. She really enjoys it, it's sweet tasting.

We use Nature's Way Primadophilus for children (non-dairy). I sprinkle it on my nipple a few times a day to get close to the 1/2tsp dose. Once DS is a bit older I'll add it to water but for now this works.
