Patient's question:
At nine months, she's quite uninterested in drinking probiotic, boiled, sour milk. Hello, can a child of this age drink sour milk? What kind of assistance matters: Can a nine-month-old baby drink probiotic, boiled, sour milk...Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended not to drink yogurt, or drink it in small amounts.Guidance: 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. Their gastric acid and pepsin activity are also relatively low.
Yogurt has a low pH value (it is acidic), and after entering the gastrointestinal tract, it can "erode" the delicate gastric and intestinal mucosa of infants, interfering with digestion and absorption.
Additionally, the microbial flora in an 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 existing microbial flora in the intestines and causing endocrine disorders, which may result in intestinal diseases.
