Getting Probiotics into Baby’s Diet

This year’s cold and flu season has been especially long and challenging. My pediatric clinic schedule is filled with runny noses, ear infections, and coughs. While my home has been a never ending cycle of sniffles. More illnesses unfortunately mean more antibiotics, which in turn means more upset tummies!
Antibiotics work by killing bacteria, all bacteria. However, your body and your babies body, need some good bacteria to help in food digestion and overall health. When all that good bacteria is killed and the delicate balance is disrupted children get nauseated, develop diarrhea, and overall have more upset tummies.
You can decrease the negative effects medications have by adding probiotics into baby’s diet. Probiotics are live healthy bacteria that help maintain a healthy, well balanced, digestive tract.
Stonyfield Organic has taken a step forward in helping parents provide the probiotics baby’s need. Instead of adding another supplement to your list, Stonyfield has combined probiotics into the #1 recommended baby yogurt, YoBaby. Why do so many doctor’s recommend Stonyfield YoBaby for babies over 6mo old?
– It’s a great source of Vitamin D and Calcium.
– It is the ONLY yogurt made specifically for babies.

 
Luke LOVES his YoBaby yogurt, and eats some every morning along with his fruit. So when I learned Stonyfield Organic was adding probiotics to a product we already love I was trilled!

Thanks for stopping by!

Noah is truly our miracle baby! He was born with t Noah is truly our miracle baby! He was born with the umbilical cord wrapped tightly around his neck resulting in a lack of oxygen. As a result he developed Childhood Apraxia and struggled to speak. Soon after his diagnosis he also began having seizures.  Now at 5yrs old, he is thriving! He is joy and love, compassion and strength! Happy 5th Birthday Noah! Praise God💕

Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the opportunity to share how much progress he has made! He has made so much progress this last year, his motor skills are VERY close to age level. And despite a diagnosis of Apraxia of Childhood he works tirelessly At communication and is the most social little boy. Full of love, life and compassion, Noah is pure sunshine. Determined to be independent he definitely keeps us on our toes but his smiles and laughter bring immense joy to all who meet him. To know Noah is to love him. 
Noah’s favorites include playdoh, lollipops, cars, legos, music, and art. 
Dislikes include sleeping in and anything that make him feel unsafe.
