They say that it helps with better digestion for the baby's stomach but I personally do not see the need for it.

We once had a child in the ER at my facility whom the parent stated she gave the Brewer's yeast/gelatin combo to every morning because she was told that it helps with ADD. I also read at that time that some are saying it helps with Autism.
I agree with neither.
That child was admitted with a bacterial infection & secondary yeast infection in the mouth, making it impossible to swallow on his own because it hurt him so badly.
With all due respect for those herbal followers, I wouldnt suggest yeast in a bottle. To me, that is for stew & bread lol.
