Cyn cyn, i am one of those 'goodness' mummies who gave my boy yakult.But not for babies right ? Babies up till 12months old . Goodness , I see tt some ppl give yakult to babies .
i tink wot ur SIL mean it is probiotics r ok, but honestly yakult is too sweet...my sis in law, who works in bio nutrition (dunno the exact term), told us it was ok to give a little at the 6mth mark once solids have been introduced. Obviously, don't feed bb the whole bottle... but a little won't hurt and may help them get used to digesting solids.
if my lecturers hear abt this, they will surely flip!!no.. she meant Yakult/Vitagen... cos that's what the older kids were drinking too...
Precisely ! Same sentiments as well .I'll never give yakult or vitagen.. though it's advertised as good for digestion. I'll rather give probiotics in it's powdered form or buy plain yogurt.
Seriously there are too much sugar in yakult / vitagen. Even my GP ask me (an adult) not to drink it.
