Sarah writes: It's a beer brewing trick, to incubate some yeast from a beer you like in order to grow more organisms with which to inoculate another batch of beer. I bet she could inoculate some EBM with the L. reuteri drops, hold it at warm room temperature or slightly higher (maybe 100F) for 12 hours to let the organisms multiply, then refrigerate the batch, giving her babe droppersful as she would the BioGaia. When she nears the end of a batch, she can use some of that batch to inoculate another vial of breastmilk. ~~~ Like beer, or maybe a sourdough starter kinda? Interesting idea. Thanks. :) Peace, Judy, sweltering in Brooklyn...
