My 3 mo had bronchitis right before Christmas and we ended up treating with antibiotics...but he has had diahrea ever since. The pedi recommended lactinex, but I wasn't sure if that was okay for my babe. She also wanted me to give him vitamin d and iron supplements, so I'm, not totally sure if she knows what she is talking about. Would the probiotic I take affect him? is there something better?<br><br>
TIA

Your baby needs a probiotic of his own- with bifido bacteria, not acidophilus. Why the D and iron though? I don't know what lactinex is.

Hi,<br><br>
I found this link for you:<br><br><a href="http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,8224%7CLactinex,00.html" target="_blank">http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Use...ctinex,00.html</a><br><br>
My youngest dd came home from the NICU w/a nasty infection (C. difficile). They put her on antibiotics and I gave her something formulated for babies:<br><br><a href="http://www.naturesway.com/NaturesWay/productdetail.aspx?productid=6881" target="_blank">http://www.naturesway.com/NaturesWay...productid=6881</a><br><br>
I wasn't breastfeeding as she wasn't able but I understand that if you take this supplement it will be present in your bm.<br><br>
It REALLY helped stop the diarrhea!<br><br>
Good luck!
