When the baby was born, its previously sterile intestine begins to fill with microorganisms important for digestion. They are called intestinal flora. However, it happens that the process of settling useful bacteria is disrupted. And then the baby has various problems with the tummy, changes in the stool and painful sensations.
    To eliminate such troubles, probiotics are often prescribed. One of the popular drugs of this group is Linex. But is it possible to give this medication to a newborn and how to do it correctly? Let's understand.

Composition and action

The main active components of Linex are the microorganisms useful for the intestine, presented in the preparation in the dried form. Depending on the form in Linex can contain such bacteria:
    Bifidobacterium infantis
    Bifidobacterium animalis
    Lactobacillus acidophilus
    Enterococcus faecium
    They after falling into the children's intestines, colonize its walls and actively reproduce. As a result, the number of useful representatives of the intestinal flora increases, and their living products make the bowel reaction more acidic, which adversely affects opportunistic and pathogenic microbes.

In addition, the bacteria from Linex:

    Develop substances with antibacterial action.
    They take part in the synthesis of vitamins.
    Participate in the exchange of bile pigments.
    Increase the reactivity of immunity.

Forms of release

Drops 8 ml Linex for children. This form of probiotic contains bifidobacteria, sunflower little, maltodextrin, sucrose, sodium ascorbate, citric acid and tocopherol. It is produced in flakonchikah, equipped with a dispenser-dropper.
For newborns, the best form is Linex for children in drops - it is perfect for babies who do not yet know how to ingest solid foods. It perfectly suits small children with emerging microflora. The product does not contain lactose, palm oil, gluten. The composition includes bifidobacteria BB-12, which are the most similar to those found in breast milk.

Indications

The instruction to any form of Linex permits the use of such medication in newborns from the first days of their life. The preparation can write:
    When the stool is broken. This symptom often appears with an imbalance of the intestinal flora. A crumb can have constipation, a greenish stool, diarrhea, feces with mucus and other problems.
    When switching to artificial feeding. Especially often Linex is prescribed to babies who were born before the term or stayed for a long time in the hospital, which became an obstacle for breastfeeding. And in order to colonize the intestines with the necessary flora, these babies are prescribed a probiotic.
    With colic. Often they begin to disturb the crumb from 2-3 months of age, but some babies have colic and in the period of newborn.
    When treated with antibacterial agents. Linex can be administered simultaneously with an antibiotic course for the prevention of digestive disorders (with a medication taken with a time difference of at least 3 hours), and after such treatment, if there are problems with digestion.

When can not give newborns

The drug is contraindicated in the presence of intolerance to any of its components. Linex is not assigned to babies who do not tolerate dairy products, since the drug includes lactose (we are talking about capsules). If the infant has problems with carbohydrate metabolism, for example, intolerance to galactose, Linex Forte capsules are contraindicated because they contain carbohydrates.
    In all of the above situations, you can use Linex for children in droplets or in powder.

Instructions for use

Dosage for newborns

Depending on the form of release, infants of the first month of life are recommended such single doses of the drug:
Linex in capsules - One capsule
Linex in drops - 6 drops
Linex Forte - One capsule

How to Plant

    If Linex is used in a sachet, the package is carefully torn, the contents are poured into a spoon, and then mixed with expressed human milk, water or a mixture. The suspension is prepared before the drug is given to the crumb. Do not store diluted powder.
    If the baby is given the drug in a capsule, it should be opened, then stir the contents with a small amount of liquid and give a crumb. Drops Linex in the right amount add to the milk or non-dairy drink, and then give the child. It is important not to forget that Linex is not mixed with hot food for a child or a hot drink.

How to give

The medication is given during or immediately after feeding. The Powder form of Linex, the preparation in drops or the contents of the Linex Forte capsule is given 1 time per day. Usual capsules of Linex are given three times a day. The duration of application is determined by the reason for the administration of the probiotic, but often Linex is prescribed a course of 2-4 weeks.

Reviews

    Many doctors oppose the appointment of Linex after birth, believing that the formation of the microflora should occur naturally and the mother should concentrate on her nutrition and proper breastfeeding, and if the artificial baby is a little, then instead of using probiotics, it is better to choose a suitable fermented milk mixture.
Both doctors and parents talk about Linex differently. The drug has its supporters as among pediatricians who prescribe drugs to small patients mainly with antibiotic therapy, and among moms and dads who have noticed an improvement in the baby's condition after taking such a probiotic. However, there are also negative reviews, when parents state that the long-term use of Linex did not lead to a noticeable result, and a rather expensive drug proved ineffective.
