Tricia, here's a useful systematic review that will help you weigh up the
evidence.
ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition: Braegger C, Chmielewska A, Desci T, et al.
Supplementation of infant formula with probiotics and/or probiotics: A
systematic review and comment by the ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition. Journal
of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition 2011; 52(2): 238-250.
Remember, prebiotics (which foster the production of probiotics in the gut)
are about one-third of the components of human milk and there are 130 (or
more) oligosaccharides, a prebiotic, in human milk. What's put into
artificial milk is very little - but the manufacturers advertise this small
component, and who has the money to advertise the real thing (Mum's milk),
which is loaded with it?

Subject: DHA and ARA in infant formula
