Is it good to give probiotics (in drops form or powder form) to babies around 6 months for daily/weekly maintenance of a healthy gut? Any particular brands that is good and suitable ?

Probiotics aids in easing digestive issues such as bloating, gas, constipation, colic and reflux. They could also help boost the immune system. Our digestive tract makes up 70% of our immune system. The main strains in our bodies are Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium. They act to prevent malabsorption and gut permeability then in turn increase immune function. Choose a brand that is meant for babies. You can consider ChildLife, available at iHerb: http://sg.iherb.com/ChildLife-Probiotics-with-Colostrum-Powder-Natural-Orange-Pineapple-Flavor-1-7-oz-50-g/10630 $25.14 for a 50g bottle (powdered form) Follow the recommended dosage for each age group (1/4 teaspoon daily for babies 6 months to 1 year old).
