Last week on the Be the Best Nanny Newsletter blog we discussed colic. We discussed the results of a study that compared the effectiveness of probiotics to simethicone. Simethicone is an anti-gas and anti-bloating substance commonly used to treat symptoms of colic. After giving babies the probiotic 'lactobacillus reuteri' for one-week, 95 percent of them showed reduced symptoms. In the simethicone group only seven percent of the babies showed any improvement within the same time period.
Below are some probiotics recommended to use for colic. Please do not add probiotics to baby's diet before consulting the infant's pediatrician. Probiotics can be mixed with baby's milk or use the formula listed below. Tests have shown that a daily dose for one or two weeks can reduce symptoms of colic dramatically.
