Anitbiotics & 9 month old DS - does he need probiotics?

Whenever I take antibiotics, I usually take some kind of probiotic. My son has a chest infection and is taking amoxycillin for 5 days - should he be given anything like a probiotic? I'm still breastfeeding him, and I know breastmilk contains pro/prebiotics, so perhaps this is enough?

will watch this with interest as my DS has just been given antibiotics for an ear infection and I have the same concerns as you.
