Pediatricians note that the occurrence of undesirable effects is possible. Each organism is individual. If any symptoms occur in the baby, then you should consult a doctor. The specialist will recommend some other remedy that is suitable for the child and will help him.
Is it really safe?
Negative reviews about "Liveo baby" make you think about whether the remedy is really safe. It should be noted that the dietary supplement is produced in the European Union (Latvia, Italy, Denmark) in accordance with all the requirements that apply to such products. The tool was developed several years ago, taking into account all the features of the child's body. It consists of only 3 components:
- Mixture of triglycerides from sunflower oil. This is an auxiliary component. It is this liquid that is contained in the vial that is included in the package.
- Fructooligosaccharides. This component is contained in the powder and is a special sugar. They contribute to a more efficient and rapid colonization of the children's intestines with beneficial bacteria.
- Bifidobacterium BB-12®. These are bifidobacteria. When ingested by a child, they restore and maintain the natural intestinal microflora.
There are no ingredients in the dietary supplement that could cause an allergic reaction in a child. The composition of the product does not contain dyes, flavors, milk proteins, lactose, gluten, GMOs.
Contraindications noted in the instructions are noted onlyindividual intolerance to the components of the remedy.
How to prepare the remedy?
One of the advantages indicated in the reviews of "Liveo baby" is that mothers prepare the supplement for their child on their own, i.e. the product is fresh. When cooking, follow the instructions:
- open the bottle with the mixture and open the bag of powder;
- powder is poured into a bottle and closed with a lid;
- shake the mixture until a suspension is formed (in the future, you will need to shake the bottle before each use).
The prepared dietary supplement cannot be poured somewhere. It should be stored in the original bottle in the refrigerator for no more than 15 days at a temperature not exceeding 8 degrees.
How to apply?
Before you start using the dietary supplement "Liveo baby", you should always consult with a pediatrician, because not all the nuances of the application are described in the instructions. For example, a specialist can tell you about the duration of admission. It depends on the reasons that caused the change in the intestinal flora. The duration of the course of admission is 7 days or more.
Now let's deal with the dose, as well as how the remedy should be used. Once a day, the child is required to give 15 drops of a dietary supplement during meals (it is allowed to divide the daily dose into 3 doses). Each mother chooses the method of application that is for herthe most convenient. Drops can:
- put directly into the child's mouth;
- give on the nipple;
- give with mix.
For the last method of application, several recommendations are provided. First, the product should not be mixed with large amounts of food. In reviews of "Liveo Baby" for newborns, mothers often write that children begin to act up during meals and do not eat everything, that is, as a result, the required dose does not enter the body. Secondly, drops should not be added to hot food or hot drinks. The recommended temperature is no more than 35–37 degrees.
Special recommendations have been established for the use of dietary supplements during antibiotic treatment. Children are given 15 drops once a day 3 hours after taking the medicine. After completion of the course of treatment, the dietary supplement is not canceled. They continue to give it to children for another 7 days.
