Can the granules of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus be given to babies?

Patient's question:

Medical history and effectiveness: Went to the hospital for a stool check and was told there was inflammation. Taking medicine didn't help much with the symptoms. Desired help: If it can be used for a baby who is four months old, what is the dosage?

Doctor's answer:

4-month-old baby experiencing nausea and vomiting again is likely due to physiological diarrhea, often related to breastfeeding.
1. Proper breastfeeding (note that the mother should avoid cold foods, get adequate rest, and maintain good nipple hygiene).
2. The child may have lactose intolerance; a small amount of formula can be added.
3. Probiotics can be used, with half a packet taken twice daily. This medication is best in a live bacterial formulation. Avoid storing it in high temperatures, and the water temperature should not be below 40°C when dissolving.
4. It is recommended to delay complementary foods for now. If introducing normal complementary foods, start with porridge.
