Bifiform Baby for constipation in newborns

Most newborns suffer from various intestinal disorders. The scourge of parents is often constipation in infants. This happens because when a baby is born, his stomach and intestines are just learning to work correctly and are still sterilely clean. The bacteria present in the body of a newborn are obtained by the baby from the body of matter. And if the mother had problems with her intestines, they will be inherited by the child.

From the first feeding, the baby's intestines begin to be populated with new microorganisms. This causes difficulty processing food. As a result, dysbacteriosis occurs, colic appears, and the body’s functioning is disrupted. If the evacuation function of the intestine is impaired, the intervals of bowel emptying increase or decrease, difficulties with defecation develop (diarrhea and constipation). With constipation, the baby is capricious, reluctant to eat, and sleep disturbance occurs. However, the problem can be solved. To eliminate troubles in the form of intestinal disorders, medical workers have developed the drug Bifiform Baby.

The use of Bifiform® Baby promotes the formation and restoration of intestinal microflora in children from the first days of life. The use of probiotic complexes is primarily recommended for children who are at risk for an imbalance in the intestinal microflora (features of pregnancy and childbirth in the mother), as well as after suffering from colds, treatment with antibiotics and some other medications. Restoring the balance of intestinal microflora allows you to eliminate such manifestations of dysbiosis as gastrointestinal upset, bloating and discomfort.

Pregnancy and Bifiform

Pregnancy is not a contraindication for use. It is usually prescribed to pregnant women suffering from dysbacteriosis, namely bloating, constipation and diarrhea. The medicine is also recommended as a restorative agent after antibacterial therapy. It can quickly eliminate intestinal disorders of natural and stress origin.

The list of indications for use for pregnant women is supplemented by chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases. Another disease vulnerable to the influence of the drug is chronic pyelonephritis. As for the dosage during pregnancy, it is practically no different from that described above for an adult. So, the capsule should be taken at least three times a day with food. A woman is allowed to take the medicine with a small amount of liquid. The average treatment period is 14 days.

Directions for use and doses

Inside, during meals. Adults and children from the first days of life, 1 dose per day. Duration of admission - for 10 days or more. Before use, you should consult your doctor.

Method for preparing the suspension

Turn the cap firmly clockwise until the powder from the cap flows into the oil.

Shake the bottle to mix the powder and oil before each dosage of the suspension. It is possible that visible particles may appear in the suspension.

• diarrhea caused by infection or diarrhea due to stress.

The drug has also proven its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic constipation and elimination of enzymatic deficiency. In addition, the medicine helps strengthen the immune system and, as a result, effectively fights colds.

Side effects

A sharp increase in the amount of the drug taken or the duration of use can cause side effects, for example, an allergic rash and itching develop. In this case, the drug is stopped and the child is shown to the pediatrician. The doctor prescribes a different dosage, cancels the medicine or changes it to an analogue. It is unacceptable to change an infant’s medications without consulting a specialist.

Reviews

The drug receives mostly positive reviews. Parents of newborns write about the effectiveness of the dietary supplement and its good tolerability. They also praise the child-friendly taste and speed of impact on the body. There are also negative reviews. They mainly criticize the inconvenience of dosing, when the powder is not completely dissolved, lumps remain, and the pipette quickly becomes clogged, which complicates the administration of the suspension. The inconvenient shape of the pipette causes great difficulties; getting the last doses of the drug from the bottom is problematic. However, almost all negative reviews emphasize the high effectiveness of the drug and the stability of the effect during use and in the subsequent period. In addition, the drug is expensive, therefore, despite its effectiveness and positive recommendations, parents are trying to find a cheaper analogue.

The use of the bioactive supplement Bifiform Baby will relieve your baby of constipation and diarrhea, and will eliminate colic and bloating. The product will help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates and absorb vitamins. Intestinal function will be restored and, as a result, overall health will improve, sleep will return to normal and immunity will increase.

Composition and description

The main bacteria in the drug are bifidobacteria and thermophilic streptococci.

These bacteria are safe. When they enter the gastrointestinal tract, they restore bacterial microflora or create it. Settling on the intestinal walls, they begin to rapidly produce lactic and acetic acids. This process helps inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms. Bifidobacteria help absorb vitamins and break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and improves immunity. The body restores normal functioning, stool returns to normal, and general condition improves.

One dose of Bifiform Baby contains 1x109 colony-forming units of bifidobacteria and 1x108 colony-forming units of streptococci.

What is bifiform

This is a probiotic, a microbial preparation that is a type of living microorganism. Once in the intestines, microorganisms begin to actively regulate its microflora and restore balance. In addition to the probiotic, the dietary supplement includes a specialized medium that is recognized as nutritious and stimulates the active reproduction and rapid growth of bacteria beneficial to the intestines. The bacteria themselves demonstrate an increased degree of resistance to antibiotics. The drug does not contain lactose and is suitable for use in patients with lactase deficiency.
