Colic (question about probiotics, help!)
Gerber Soothe colic drops...
They are like magical unicorn tears i swear. I had tried everything for DD4 and she was just so unhappy and miserable and in constant pain. I had to contemplate zantac though it didnt work 100% of the time so id rather discontinue it..and also tylenol in small doses just at bed time to at least get a decent nights sleep...i wasnt okay with that EITHER because as much as i NEED the sleep with 3 other kids i couldnt get over the thought that i would be taxing her poor little liver too hard. So enter the colic drops..first night was kind of meh, seemed to work but seemed she had a hard time adjusting still too..second night, its like a miracle has happened..she slept 6 hours, then 4 so i got 10 hours of only semi broken sleep. i feel like a new human being! She passed TONS of gas (big burps and lots..i mean LOTS of farting) and didnt cry other than to be changed and eat and then was the happiest cuddly baby. She has been in so much pain lately she shakes and shivers and just seems beyond stressed and anxious.
However...it says on the bottle that she is only supposed to get 5 drops once a day...they dont seem to 'work' 24 hours for this dosage though and im wondering if anyone can tell me the side effects or harm that could come from 'too much' probiotics? i was hoping someone could tell me 'nothing' so i could in good conscience give them to her twice a day to help her day and night..the 5 drops is like..hardly anything at all on the tiniest of baby spoons and i think 12 hours between doses couldnt possibly REALLY hurt...any advice?
