Re: No trouble getting baby to drink kefir!

[Guest guest]

It would definitely be better for you kids to drink kefir than regular

milk.

Too much kefir shouldn't be a problem at all. Its just like yogurt

but it has cultures that are better adapted to our intestines and can

survive and inhabit them (a good thing). Yogurt is a good probiotic

but its cultures only affect you while passing through and don't stay

in your system, whereas Kefir can give your intestines vigorous flora

to stay.
