Hi - my DS has had this D & V bug plus he has been on antibitoics so he has a v upset tummy (lots of poo). Can i give him live yoghurt - he is 27 weeks. I thought it may help his tummy recover.

Are you breastfeeding him? If so, then breastmilk is the best thing to give him to help him recover.

Acording to the food standards agency Bio (or live) yoghurt is ok from 6 months:

Are bio yoghurts safe for babies?

'Bio' yoghurts usually claim to contain 'live' bacteria, or 'cultures'. In most products, these will be the same types of bacteria that are found naturally in a healthy person's digestive system.

So babies don't need to eat bio yoghurts to get these bacteria. But if you want to give bio yoghurts to your baby after he or she is about six months old, this should be safe, as long as it doesn't say on the label that the product isn't suitable for babies.

Your baby needs plenty of energy to grow, so make sure you give him or her full-fat varieties of dairy products such as yoghurts and fromage frais. Remember to avoid using cows' milk as a main drink until your baby is one year old.
