I think Marianne is referring to ''Kanne's Brooddrank'', which I think originated from Grmany and there may very well be variations further North and East into Europe. It is basicly fermented sour dough bread rich in lactic acid and lactic acid bacteria. It is also used in fungal infections as acidy rinse and as a drink for gut-health

Marianne,
could you please describe the bread drink - it sounds like something we have
here and I find it interesting, because here it is used as a galactogogue. If
you prefer, reply privately.

Hi Marie,
For mothers who breastfeed, taking a probiotic can do a lot for their own gut
and consequently for their baby's gut.
In the Netherlands there is a fermented bread drink (apparently very
distasteful, unfortunately...) that works well.
One of my colleagues has tried it often: baby constipated, mom drinks it, baby
poops. Works well!
I found out that there are also probiotic tablets, but I don't know whether they
have exactly the same effect.
Bye,

Subject: Constipation
Hello,
Here is an interesting question posed by one of my clients (permission to post):
A new mother is breastfeeding after reduction surgery which was done about 5
years ago. Her left breast isn't producing any breastmilk, but her right breast
is producing about 1 1/2 ounces at each feeding (she is thrilled to be able to
lactate at all!). She is supplementing with soy which is making her baby very
constipated. She has been given lots of advice about what to give her one month
old baby. She knows some of this advice could even be dangerous (baby prune
juice, Miralax, water, and even Karo syrup).
Her question for me, "Do you have any information on how I can change my diet to
help with his constipation since he is getting some breastmilk?" Hmmmm, I have
never had anyone ask this question. Do any of you have information on foods
that cross into breastmilk which might help with constipation without giving
anything additional to this infant?
Thank you in advance,
Marie Ivey, BSN, RN, LCCE, CLC
