I've recently had a throat infection which wouldn't budge and was eventually prescribed 250mg amoxycillin. 3 days after I finished the course, I got it back again with a vengeance (plus full on flu symptoms) and was then prescribed 500mg amoxycillin. I'm exclusively bf my son who has just turned 5 months. The stronger antibiotics gave me a 'bad tummy' and since I took them, my son has also seemed to have worse wind and general tummy ache (no other symptoms like d&v though).


I've finished the course now and my tummy is better, but he isn't.


Anything I can do/take/give to help his tummy? Or is it not that, and perhaps the jabs or something else...

Hi Fuschia - that's a good idea for me, but I wasn't sure about giving it to him as he's only ever had breast milk (I'm ultra sensitive about it as my daughter had a cow's milk protein allergy).


I'm sure I read somewhere about a homeopathic remedy I could give directly to him (I don't actually subscribe to homeopathy at all, but I'll try anything to make him feel better!)

Health matters sell a powder for this called Bifidobacterium Infantis made by BioCare which is specially formulated for infants. You put a quarter of a tea spoon of the powder into their mouths with every feed if breastfeeding. I used it after having to take various antibiotics for 3 weeks while breastfeeding and worrying about baby sailor getting thrush or digestive probs.

It's not cheap - looking at my bottle here it's ?26:15 but worth it if it helps!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
