You Should, You Can, Ask Your Baby Doctor About Solgar Abc Dophilus

By Keith Woolley

Solgar abc dophilus is a new nutritional supplement for children. It promotes healthy bacteria in the large intestine according to company information. Ask your pediatrician if it is right for your child. Infant nutrition has developed greatly over the years. Many years ago mothers had to prepare their own formula. Now they can buy it ready to feed in the can. Or they can buy it in powder form. Solgar abc dophilus comes in powder form and can be added to your child's beverage. It is easier than making your own infant formula.

Solgar abc dophilus can be even mixed in you infants formula. But ask your pediatrician if it is right for your infant. There have been several advances in infant nutrition. We now have infant formula containing iron.

Earlier in the twentieth century one company was able to add iron to their infant formula. This was important because anemia within the first year of life could have long lasting consequences. Infant formula without iron is still available but most pediatricians recommend iron fortified infant formula from birth. You should ask you pediatrician about using Solgar abc dophilus with your newborn.

In fact no matter your child's age seek your doctors advice about Solgar abc dophilus and if he or she recommends it. Some newborns are born with an allergy to cow milk and cannot drink regular formula. For these infants there are soy based infant formulas. Children drinking soy milk based formula grow up the same as children raised on cow based infant formula. Cow milk is treated and is fortified with vitamins and nutrients which make it infant formula. You never should give a newborn regular cow milk because the infant can suffer enteric blood loss from untreated cow milk. Always use formula if you do not nurse.

Solgar abc dophilus is a supplement that claims to improve the large intestinal flora. This would help overall health and promote more efficient digestion. Adults can also benefit from a healthier intestinal tract of course. Some argue that children should only be breast fed. Mothers milk has special antibodies not found in infant formula. Which is true. No one can turn cow milk into human milk.

Cow milk is for cows and human milk is for humans. This is why you do not see infant formula on television advertisements. Some formula companies choose to have television commercials but most do not. This is because no one promotes breast milk on the TV so it is considered unethical to promote against human milk since no one promotes breast feeding, which many consider the best feeding, on TV.

Solgar abc dophilus is a supplement you can purchase on the internet but you should still seek your pediatrician's approval before using it. And though infant formula is cow based all studies prove infants develop the same on infant formula compared to infandts drinking human milk.

Solgar abc dophilus is a supplement that may aid your child's development. However, as with most nutritional supplements there is no hard scientific evidence suggesting it helps children. If you think your child needs this supplement check with your doctor. Inquire with your pediatrician to see if you should use Solgar abc dophilus with your child. - 30453
