can you take acidophilus probiotics with vitamins/supplements& minerals? and if so, how many hours apart?

Question

Best time of day/way to take vitamins/supplements: b-complex; vitamin c; iron; chelate zinc and acidophilus

Answer 1

Not optimal: It is better to take Probiotics between meals and take vitamins and minerals after meals.

Answer 2

It depends....: The frequency of bowel movements varies with age. In the first month, babies can have 4-7 stools per day, sometimes after every feed! at about one month, most infants will move their bowels about 1-4 times per day. By about 4 months, some breastfed babies will only need to have a bm once or twice a week! call your doctor if you are not sure.

Answer 3

4 per day to every 4: Average will be somewhere between 4 per day to once every 4 days. However, some babies will poop 6- 8 times per day and some up to every 7-10 days. There obviously is a wide range of normal. If baby acts well in between and they arent in discomfort, then you should be fine.

Answer 4

Varies from 1-6: Babies in the first couple months of life poop quite often, sometimes after each feeding. Pooping decreases as a baby gets older, and may eventually be just once a day. There is great variation among normal healthy babies in pooping frequency. Parents can tell the doctor at each check-up how the pooping is, and the doctor can help decide if such pooping is normal.

Answer 5

Once, probably: It really depends on what your baby eats. Breast-fed babies often have one bm/day, or sometimes one bm every 2-3 days. The most important thing is that the stool is soft, but remember that many breast-fed babies have watery stools. Bms 3-4 times/day are common for other babies, and these are usually of a mushy consistency.

Answer 6

7x in 1 d or 1/wk: 7 times in 1 day or 1 time in 7 days as long as it is nonpainful and soft it is all normal.

Answer 7

It varies: Wow, this varies a lot. It's typical for breast fed babies to stool after nearly every feeding, though that slows down some as they get older. However, going several days between stools is not abnormal either, in a baby that is eating regularly and appears comfortable and healthy.

Answer 8

Depends: Breastfed babies often poop with each feed in the first few months. Babies fed formula or older children can poop anywhere from several times per day to only once per week. As long as the stool is soft (not hard balls), it's normal. If you do see hard stools, especially associated with pain or blood, your pediatrician may have some simple suggestions to improve it.

Answer 9

Depends: P.S. All babies tend to strain rather dramatically with stools at some point, probably because their brain is working hard to coordinate their intestinal muscles (which are still weak) and nerves. Plus they are laying flat most of the time, so they don't have help from gravity. As long as their stools are soft, the crying, pulling up of legs, turning red is normal and won't last forever.

Answer 10

Breast poops...: ...Can be even more variable: very loose stools with every feeding are normal, but so are formed stools once a week, and every schedule in between, even changing from one to the other extreme.

Answer 11

Depends on the age: How old is your baby? If we are talking about the first or second month then for breastfed babies it might be 6-10 times (sometimes with every feeding) or formula fed babies might have 2-3 stools a day. After 2 months or so of life they start stooling less, especially no stooling at night. So babies after 2 months of age may stool anywhere from 2-3 times a day to every other day.

Answer 12

Yes: The b vitamins are safe in pregnancy. They are in prenatal vitamins and you may not need more. If you take a lot of b vitamins, you may have some discoloration (yellow or orange) of your urine.

Answer 13

No: Niacin (vitamin b3) is classified with a "c" rating for pregnancy (a being the safest) because there has been fetal harm in animal studies. There is insufficient data in humans but you should avoid supplementation. You should be taking prenatal vitamins which contain a safe amount of Niacin and plenty of folic acid.

Answer 14

Five doses: Dtap vaccine is given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 18 months, and 4 years. The booster at 11 years is slightly different, and is called tdap.

Answer 15

Six: Dr kwok's answer is correct, but in addition, a tdap booster is recommended to be given at least once to all adults.

Answer 16

Rickets: I will presume that you are feeding your child a normal diet for age and that you are seeing your pediatrician or family practice physician on a regular basis. Rickets will be part of a constellation of signs and symptoms that will determined clinically. This type of nutritional deficiency is relatively rare in america at this time.

Answer 17

Many syptoms: You may notice swelling of the ends of the long bones especially the wrists, knees and ankles. The baby may be cranky due to bone tenderness and he/she will not grow taller.

Answer 18

Not For Cure: There is no evidence that herbal products are able to cure lung infections. Sometimes they can relieve symptoms, such as steam, saline nose drops etc.
