Course description
While it's common for infants to cry, excessive and inconsolable crying might suggest colic. Although colic isn't usually a medical concern, it can be distressing for parents and may hint at possible future health problems. Using a probiotic specifically tested for babies could help ease gastrointestinal symptoms linked with colic. But are probiotics truly effective in reducing crying, and what factors should parents keep in mind when selecting the right probiotic for their baby?
