when to give bonnisan after food or before food - #44453

Zoey

I am really confused about this whole bonnisan thing. My baby has been a bit fussy and not eating well, and the pediatrician suggested bonnisan to help with appetite. I mean, I thought it was supposed to be straightforward, but I'm totally lost on when to give bonnisan after food or before food. This week, I tried giving it before meals, thinking it might stimulate his appetite, but then he refuses to eat anyway. And when I gave it after food, I was worried it might upset his tummy or something! I read somewhere that timing might make a difference, but nobody seems to agree on when to give bonnisan after food or before food. Should I stick to one way, or can I mix it up? He’s been a bit cranky, and I just want to do what’s best for him. Has anyone else faced this dilemma with bonnisan? Any tips would be sooo appreciated! And what about the dosage? Do I give the same amount if it's before meals or after? Thanks a ton in advance for any help!

Bonnisan, designed to support digestion and appetite in infants, can indeed cause a bit of confusion when it comes to timing. But let’s break down the basics to help you make the best decision. Typically, Bonnisan can be given after feeding because it aids digestion and helps soothe any potential discomfort. By giving it after meals, you ensure that it functions as a gentle digestive aid, reducing the possibility of an upset stomach.

If you decide to give it before meals to stimulate appetite, it’s generally best to do so around 15-20 minutes prior to feeding. This can help increase the desire to eat. However, because you mentioned that your baby is reluctant to eat when given before, it might be more effective in your case to continue giving Bonnisan after food to avoid any unwanted tummy troubles.

As for dosage, it’s crucial to adhere to the recommendations provided by your healthcare practitioner or the guidance on the packaging. These dosages are established to be safe and effective, irrespective of whether taken before or after meals. In general, the dosage remains consistent, so you don’t need to adjust it based on timing. If your baby seems too cranky or if you’re still confused, keep in close contact with your pediatrician. They can give you personalized advice considering your child’s specific needs and health condition.

Avoid changing up the timing too much, as regularity helps your baby’s system adapt better to the supplement. Remember, each infant is unique and can respond differently to digestive aids like Bonnisan. Monitoring how your baby reacts and talking to your pediatrician will guide you to the best approach. Stay patient and observe what timing of administration works best for your little one.
