Patient's question:
She's been nine months old. She's quite dislike drinking probiotic scalded acid milk. Hello, can a child this age drink acid milk? What kind of assistance matters: Can a nine-month-old baby drink probiotic scalded acid milk...Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended not to drink yogurt or drink it in small amounts. Suggestions: Infants under one year old should not drink yogurt. Children in the infant stage have not yet developed their gastrointestinal system, and their gastric mucosal barrier is not well-established. The activity of gastric acid and pepsin is also lower. Yogurt has a low pH value (highly acidic), and after entering the gastrointestinal tract, it can "erode" the delicate gastrointestinal mucosa of infants, interfering with digestion and absorption. Additionally, the microbial flora in the infant's gastrointestinal tract is in a stage of growth and fluctuation and is not yet stable. Drinking yogurt may lead to excessive consumption of Lactobacillus acidophilus, disrupting the ecological balance of the original microbial flora in the intestines and causing endocrine disorders, thereby leading to intestinal diseases.
