Bec, we put Z on probiotics at 12 mths and I wasa bit skeptical but they have really made a difference to his digestive issues and I truly think they have helped him have a healthy gut while being on reflux meds for so long.

The one see is on are for wee ones...if our interested I can PM you what we have, it's a powder you can out in their milk, or food.

That said, if he generally has a healthy gut then best not to mess with it ;) x

He's never had any tummy issues apart from gas from foremilk overload when he was tiny. I thought about it when he was on antibiotics but he didn't even really get diarrhoea - I think his poo was more liquidy from only drinking milk because he wouldn't take in solids.

We've had another terrible night and I'm not sure if the NW's are teething or hunger or just wanting mummy :( I'm going to feed him 4 times today as I would have done a few days ago and see if that helps since he's not usually this bad when teething...

He's never had to ask for milk before so I'm now thinking what we perceived as him asking for milk was just him getting excited or I don't know him as well as I thought and he's asking but I'm not understanding - so hard when I'm upright more now as he's running around and I can't sit on the ground and chase him. The only time he asked for milk was when he was tired for a while there he'd nuzzle my chest but it was more of a tired sign than needing milk IYKWIM.

Z always burrows or pulls at my top when he is hungry/thirsty and will usually settle for water pretty quick. Or when he bored ;)

He's almost never close enough to my chest to burrow/nuzzle now ;) constantly on the move :P

I should have added that nuzzling behaviour was back when he was crawling and he was happier if I'd lie on the floor while he played near me. Perish the thought that I might do something like clean the kitchen or that I might actually play with him  ::)  ::)

Just realised I've totally taken over your thread, Sara. Sorry!
