How to eat probiotics for six-month-old babies

Probiotics can relieve the baby's intestines, enhance the baby's intestinal immunity, promote the baby's gastrointestinal absorption of nutrients, and maintain the balance of the baby's gastrointestinal flora. The baby's physical development is not yet complete, and gastrointestinal discomfort will occur after eating some food. At this time, you can give the baby some probiotics to alleviate these phenomena, which is very helpful for the baby's growth.

1. Probiotic preparations

Probiotic preparations are a safer choice. The probiotics in probiotic powder include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei and other probiotics. Only living bacteria are active and can regulate the intestines and enhance immunity. Different numbers of live bacteria will affect the efficacy. The probiotics on the market have different levels of live bacteria counts, ranging from 300,000, 500,000, 1 million, 5 billion, and 30 billion. The higher the amount the human body ingests, the better. Parents must take the medicine correctly according to the manufacturer's safety instructions.

It should be noted that when preparing milk powder or probiotic preparations containing probiotics, warm boiled water (35-40℃) should be used to feed the baby, and the prepared milk or probiotic preparations should be taken in time to avoid the death and ineffectiveness of the probiotics.

2. Probiotic Yogurt

Probiotic yogurt is sour milk fermented with probiotics. In addition to providing babies with high-quality protein and probiotics, the milk also produces lactic acid, a variety of B vitamins, etc. during the fermentation process. These beneficial substances play an important role in the baby's health. Eating a moderate amount of yogurt can not only provide rich nutrition, but also a certain amount of probiotics.

At present, there are many kinds of "yogurt" on the market that are made from milk or milk powder, sugar, lactic acid or citric acid, malic acid, spices and preservatives. They do not have the health benefits of yogurt, so parents should carefully identify them when purchasing.

Finally, parents are reminded that if their baby is often constipated, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, increase the fiber intake in the diet, and increase the consumption of coarse grains in moderation to expand the volume of stool, promote intestinal peristalsis, and reduce the occurrence of constipation. If necessary, probiotic preparations should be supplemented, but the amount of bacteria must be sufficient, otherwise the effect will not be good. Some constipation is caused by illness. If the condition cannot be corrected through diet or probiotic supplementation, the baby should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying treatment.
