Course description
Although crying is a normal aspect of infant behaviour, some babies exhibit excessive and inconsolable crying, which could indicate colic. While colic itself isn't a cause for medical concern, it can be distressing for parents and might signal potential future health issues. Utilizing a probiotic that has been clinically tested for babies may aid in alleviating the gastrointestinal symptoms associated with colic. However, are probiotics effective in reducing crying, and what criteria should parents consider when choosing the appropriate probiotic for their baby?
