can i give my 8wk old baby actimel

[PurplePixie]

Definitely not. With any cows milk product it's recommended that you should only give it to children over the age of 1....and only then if you are sure they are not allergic to dairy products.

Yeah I would say not - but really if you are unsure of anything you should ask your midwife.

Why not take a good quality probitoc yourself (acidophilus)? Breastmilk contains probiotics anyway so unless your baby has eczema, allergies, is bottlfed or has recently had antibiotics i doubt your baby needs it yet. There is however a probiotic aimed at babies who do need it called abc dophilus http://www.solgar.co.uk/modules/shop/view.asp?catid=14&Prodc ode=E10 you might find this article interesting http://www.whatreallyworks.co.uk/start/kidszone.asp?article_ ID=977
