Dysbacteriosis is manifested in infants by frequent regurgitation, vomiting and bloating. The kid cries a lot, eats poorly, loses weight, for a long time and is often sick. Newborns have loose stools with greens, mucus, undigested food lumps, or frequent constipation. A more severe form - decompensated dysbiosis can contribute to the development of a number of acute inflammatory or allergic processes associated with the effect on the entire body of a crumbs of pathogenic intestinal bacteria.
Necessary
- - the doctor's consultation;
- - probiotics.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not self-medicate a newborn. Only a doctor will give exact recommendations for the treatment of dysbiosis in your baby. In the treatment of dysbiosis, a necessary element is the intake of probiotics - preparations containing live bifidobacteria. Microcolonies of bifidobacteria, passing through the digestive tract, settle on the intestinal mucosa, where they begin to multiply rapidly, restoring normal flora and reclaiming living space from pathogens. This process is also helped by substances with an antibiotic-like effect produced by bifidobacteria. Please note that these should be drugs, not biologically active additives (dietary supplements): the quality of probiotics, subject to strict government control, ensures the proper efficacy and safety of use. This is especially important when it comes to treating babies.
Step 2
Breastfeed your newborn. In the prevention of dysbiosis, breastfeeding plays an important role. Mother's milk contributes to the formation of the normal intestinal flora of the newborn. The antibodies contained in it protect the baby from many diseases. If the baby already has dysbiosis, all the more try to keep breastfeeding. With prolonged diarrhea, transferring the crumbs to artificial feeding will only intensify the inflammatory processes and aggravate the situation. Give your baby bifidus medications under the supervision of a doctor: in combination with breast milk, this has a very good therapeutic effect.
Step 3
After an infectious disease, the likelihood of developing dysbiosis increases several times: part of the useful microflora dies in the fight against pathogenic bacteria. Along with the main treatment for the infection, the baby also needs probiotics. Their use will enable the baby to recover faster and prevent the development of dysbiosis. Be sure to remind your doctor about this aspect of treatment, especially when the baby is prescribed a course of antibiotics: after taking them, the beneficial microflora of his intestines will also be destroyed. If the baby is at risk of developing dysbiosis, discuss with the doctor all the necessary preventive measures in advance.
