I have been giving my child biogaia since he was 1 month old. Currently, the baby is 5.5 months old and I have stopped administering it. A baby with poop after practically every feeding, went down to 1 poop for 3 days and has smelly gas at the same time. Sometimes she cries and then I help her with a massage to "degasse" her tummy. Does this mean that without biogaja, the child will be constipated? I'm breastfeeding.

The symptoms you describe, such as a change in the frequency of bowel movements, smells of gas and disturbing your baby, can be related to a number of factors. Expanding the diet, introducing new foods, etc., can affect the nature of the child's stool. However, this does not mean that without a probiotic, the child will be constipated.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is worth consulting a pediatrician. Your pediatrician can assess the situation more closely and recommend possible adjustments to your diet, supplementation, or other measures. There are also no contraindications to re-administering the Biogaia probiotic. It can be given to the baby on a long-term basis because it contains a strain of bacteria naturally found in breast milk (Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis - strain DSM 17938). Besides, it is a tasteless product that does not contain sugar, gluten or lactose.
I am attaching a link to a page where you can compare the prices of Biogaia in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or pickup at the nearest stationary pharmacy:
