When Shane was born, someone told me to take probiotics which is good for relieving gas. It's basically good bacteria like what you get eating yoghurt and drinking yakult. Since I wanted to be all natural and no funny nonsense for the baby, I decided to skip that piece of advice.
Over the last month, Shane has been having lots of gas , and sometimes he curls up in pain and cries. I suddenly remembered what I was told and decided to try it out to see if it works. I spoke to the lactation consultant and the pediatrician to see if it was OK or not if I took probiotics (because it will come through the breast milk), and I was given the green light.
Since I got the order of probiotics in the mail through Amazon about 12 days ago, I've been taking it, and I haven't yet seen an episode of his gassy pains up until…. 2 days ago when I decided to stop taking it. Today, he little boy was all curled up again and cried in pain. I don't think it was a co-incidence, so well, i'm back on probiotics again.
