There is an article in The Nursing Spectrum Nov, 5 2007 ed. about use of probiotics.
It is basically OK until it says:
"Determine if new mothers are breastfeeding.  If so, women who are breastfeeding and who plan to take probiotics should consult their physicians, as breast milk also may contain the organisms[I suppose they mean the probiotics].  While evidence shows probiotics bolster the immune system, a physician must determine what is safe for an infant."

needless to say this leaves me spitting mad!!  I have to go to bed and sleep so I can compose myself before I point out how stupid the "tip" is.  After all breast milk is the original probiotic  to my mind :-)  After I cool  off I'll let you know what I say to them :-)  Pat in SNJ
