Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi there, My friend just adopted a baby who is now 2 weeks old. He was born vaginally so he was able to have his mom's bacteria (good and bad) while passing through the birth canal. My question now is how does my friend go about taking care of his gut and immune system seeing as he is not breastfed? Should she give a probiotic along with the formula? Something else? I am planning on nursing him once a day to at least give him some breast milk. My friend and I would appreciate any ideas to fill this 2 week old up with healthy gut flora and good bacteria. Thanks so much! Janelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
