Best Supplement for Reflux: BioGaia Protectis Baby Probiotic Drops + Vitamin D | Reduces Colic, Gas & Spit-ups | Healthy Poops | Reduces Crying & Fussing & Promotes Digestive Comfort | Newborns, Babies & Infants

These are a gift from god!

I was very skeptical about using probiotics with my 4 month old because it seems the marketing hype is ahead of the science (according to doctors when I researched probiotic use in babies), but I also figured it wouldn't hurt to try since l reuteri is naturally occurring in some mothers' breast milk. This was the best decision I've made with my little one. He suffered from terrible gas and Reflux and was starting to have slow weight gain because he spit up everything he hate. He would wake up screaming in pain at night from gas, and as soon as he passed it, he would pass out instantly. I felt helpless. The doctors gave him Zantac for the Reflux, but it doesn't help the actual spitting up (only neutralizes the burn), but he absolutely refused to take it and even when I managed to force some down his throat, it didn't seem to make any noticeable difference. I was also giving him iron and vitamin D, plus gas drops and that was just an overwhelming amount of supplementing. He started to poop only about once every 7-10 days (which is apparently normal for breastfed babies) but he was so uncomfortable and cried because of gas pains. So, I gave in and bought these. And I am so so glad I did. Now, his Reflux is so much better. He spits up still occasionally, but nowhere near the amount as before and less often. Before he spit up with every burp and it would splatter on the ground and go all down my back or his front or both. It was so bad that my dogs would hear him burp and come running to lick it up (can you say Pavlov?)! It's much better now, much to the dogs' disdain. He also has started to poop about every other day, and his poops have finally turned “normal.” Before his poops bordered diarrhea, but now they look just like a breastfed baby's poop should look like. The delivery came in an envelope on a day that was over 90 degrees, which concerned me because these are supposed to be kept below 77. But, I emailed the company to ask if they were ok to use, and the company said that they would be fine if left out for that short of time and they were quick to respond. If your baby has any of the issues I described, I would recommend considering these probiotics. If anything, they at least provide the vitamin D missing for breast fed babies

Better value than Gerber Soothe

I've been using these drops with my son since he was 7 weeks old. Initially, we tried Gerber Soothe, based on friends' recommendations. But after doing a little digging, I found out that Gerber bought the formula from BioGaia. These are the exact same product, only with Vitamin D added. With BioGaia, you get more volume for a lower price point and the added D, so win-win all around. My son, now 7 months old, has Reflux and takes Zantac for it. Zantac can be constipating, but he's never struggled. I was told that starting solids could cause constipation. It didn't. And because my kid is a slow gainer, I've had to start fortifying two of his day care bottles of breast milk with formula to boost the calorie content. Guess what? Adding that in didn't constipate him either. I firmly believe these drops keep his gut healthy and will continue to use them. As others have mentioned, despite the packaging claiming that there are 50 servings in here, I never get a full 50. There are a couple of reasons for this. One, the drops come out fast and sometimes you end up giving the kid 7 vs. 5. But two, as others reviewers have mentioned, when the bottle starts to get low, the stuff gets goopy and won't come out. This no matter how much you shake it. I've tried popping off the top and cleaning it, but it doesn't matter - the liquid becomes too viscose. So here's a tip for that: Buy your next bottle when you open your last bottle. When the open bottle gets oogie, pop the tops off both and pour the older stuff in with the new stuff. Shake well. Voila! You don't lose any of the liquid. I highly recommend these for all babies, not just colicky ones. They really are like magic

Great for Colic and Food Allergies

If you have a baby with colic, has food allergies, or problems passing gas- LOOK NO FURTHER. My daughter had all three issues. This product in conjunction with Alimentum ready to feed saved my sanity and marriage. My daughter at about 4 weeks of age cried or fussed up to 16hrs a day. This was extremely difficult for my husband and myself making sleep a commodity that caused an ongoing war between us. Aftering trying Reflux meds without much improvement baby girl was diagnosed with food allergies. It took some testing but we eventually found switching to a corn free formula with reduced milk proteins (Alimentum RTF) brought the crying/fussiness down to about 10-12 hours and stopped the screaming we referred to as "Gates of Hell". This product after only 3 days had reduced crying/fussiness to 6 hours. By the end of the first week, baby girl was passing gas effortlessly and was fussy for 3 hours or less a night. The crying had practically disappeared! If your baby is anything like mine, do yourself a favor- BUY THIS PRODUCT. I had tried 3 other types of probiotics, and countless colic products and remedies. Nothing else seemed to work. (Probably due to corn products being in the other probiotics) This definately did the trick

Worth every penny!!!!

First, I almost never write reviews! But this is amazing!! I have 5 kids and always had trouble with finding the right formula and or breastfeeding! Like major gas, fussiness, spit up, vomiting, Reflux... soooo many problems!! I finally had a doctor give me a sample of probiotics to see if it would help with a diarrhea bout my baby was having. HOLY SH!T THIS CHANGED MY LIFE!!! My baby (now 6mos) is exclusively breastfed (which I could never do with my other 4 bc I was told to stop bc they couldn't digest my milk!?) babies digestive tracts are delicate and have no good bacteria in them to help disgust things. They also have a leaky gut so what they eat leaks through their intestines into their bodies so that they can get the most nutrients out of what they eat. Hence breast fed babies poop less. Anyway...these probiotics are amazing!! They have helped with gas, fussiness, spit up everything!!! This is the only strain of bacteria that actually works for fussiness (Gerber brand also uses the same strain) after using it for a couple months I accidentally left it at my moms house so she was without it for about a week and OMG it was awful! Sooo much crying....I was so glad to get them back and she was fine after about four days. It does take a couple weeks to really see results, but it is soooo worth it!!! BOTTOM LINE: if u are having a baby with gas, fussiness, colic, spit up.... TRY THIS!!

The best we've used

So the pediatrician gave us samples of this and it worked so well for my 6 mo old and Reflux. When I ran out of samples I thought we'd try a slightly cheaper probiotic my friend reccomended, within a few days of starting the cheaper one he was spitting up again. I ordered more from Amazon and within two days of restarting he hasn't spit up at all, he's also pooping bette

Very pleased momma

I love this product! I give it to my four month old who has Reflux and has seemed uncomfortable since she was a week old. She is EBF, and would spit up all day long. Until her doctor recommended these drops, my daughter would never take a nap, and struggled to stay asleep at night. After taking these drops she seems a lot happier, and poops more often. She isn't spitting up as often, and sleeps for longer periods of time throughout the day and night. Because the bottle has a dropper cap and I have to hold it above her mouth and wait for the drops to fall out does make giving it to her a little complicated. Maybe if the bottle came with a separate dropper it may make it easier for younger babies. Nevertheless, I've used up thee fire bottle and there is no left over which I'm happy about. I read other reviews saying that it's hard to get the drops out once the bottle is nearly empty but I've also shaken it up every time I give it to her to ensure it is mixed up. I wish I had ordered the next bottle sooner as I am out of drops and my next bottle isn't going to arrive until late next week. Hopefully this week goes by fast and my daughter isn't in too much discomfort until then

Truly the best I've used

My twin 4 month old babies have had intestinal issues from the start: fussy tummies, gassy, Reflux, spit up...needless to say it was a nightmare to deal with. I was told about these probiotic drops from another mom with twins and thought I would give them a try. We're on our second bottle now and I won't be switching back to anything else I've tried

Helps with Reflux and colicky babies

Helped reduced the effects of acid Reflux for my baby. I started using these drops when my baby was 1 week old and at 2.5 months we finished the bottle and stopped using them. Big mistake! A few days later his Reflux and digestion got severely worse, was crying at all times of the day, stopped sleeping through the night and rarely napped during the day, and fought eating despite being hungry. I put him back on the drops and 5-7 days later he is back to being my easy baby. Do yourself a favor and use these drops

Beast product ever!!!! Life saver!!!!

My daughter had terrible time passing gas abs moving her bowls from the day she came home from the hospital we tried it all I mean everything, nothing worked! The doctor recommended this and it saved us literally it was a life saver and I no longer had to watch my baby suffer from discomfort. I have been giving it to her since she was three months old she is now seven months and I will continue giving it to her until she is probably one years old. This is the best thing to ever be invented i wish I knew about this when I had my other two babies. I recommend this to any mom that has a baby suffering from Reflux or trouble moving their bowls! Life saver!!!!!
