Is it a good idea to give probiotics to an 11-month-old baby who often has a cold? If so, which brand is good?

Giving probiotics to an 11-month-old baby who frequently has colds is not proven to change the frequency or duration of colds according to current data. Instead, frequent handwashing and nasal hygiene techniques may be more helpful. Vitamin D at a dosage of 400 IU per day could possibly help, as it is recommended by Health Canada for all individuals living in Quebec.
