Yakult for a 1 year old

[Livinthedream]

Can i feed my 1 year old Yakult?
I was planning to add it to his bottle.
I have been giving him the powdered ones but they are so expensive.
Yay or Nay

Nay from me. Yakult is very high in sugar.
Im all for a probiotic just not that one for kids.

Maybe you could ask your GP or CHN for a recommendation for an affordable probitic for kids.

First of all... Happy Birthday to your little man!!! (for yesterday)

Nay from me aswell. I looked into it once for DD and decided after some research it was probably going to do her more harm than good. HTH

I agree with Pandora, check with your GP (MCHN) or even the health food shop and see what they suggest?

There is one I use for the kids and it can be added to water juice or food. As pandora said, it is high in sugar so it would be best to look at an alternative source if you didn't want him to have probiotics directly. Jalna is a good one as is vaalia - they also have the pouches of yoghurt which are great for little ones to eat.

I get a chewable probiotic from chemist's warehouse for my 2 (I think it's called tummy time?). It's flavoured with natural strawberry and they luuurve it.

Yup too much sugar. Try Fast Tract, it's organic, safe for babies and the whole family and made from fruits & veg not faecal matter like some brands. Also has loads of different strains of pro-biotics, not just one or two like most commercial brands.
