Hey Everyone,

 

Question:  If baby is exclusively breastfed why would they need probiotics?
I have yet to fully understand this concept.  If baby has an allergy and the
gut is damaged take out the offending 'food' and all should be well correct?
Breastmilk is supposed to take care of the bacterial needs of the
newborn/infant gut is it not?  Thoughts?

 

Thanks!
