Hello wise ones,
 
A mom emailed me in a panic about the L reuteri drops that had really  been 
helping her baby ( who was squirmy, miserable, not ever awake and calm at  
the same time, and stooled about once every 5 days,) saying that the company 
 BioGaia, who made the drops has discontinued them. They still make 
chewables  still for 4-12 year olds, and the straws, which would work as long as 
the baby  was bottlefeeding. This baby is exclusively breastfeeding. I see on 
their  website they just signed a major deal with Nestle, is it possible 
they just  don't care about helping exclusively breastfeeding babies anymore?
 
Has anyone else heard this, that it's been discontinued? It's not on the  
company site, but other third party sites are saying they don't have it...  
Everywhere I called I find nothing but bifidus powders. Even a health food 
store  that should know better, when I said this is for a breastfeeding baby, 
said it  can be put in the bottle of mother's milk or formula. I haven't 
been able to  find L. Reuteri drops for infants anywhere.
 
Argh.
 
Any thoughts?
Peace,
Judy
