Glycine is an amino acid that participates in the formation of proteins and enzymes of the body, its purification and for the activation of mental activity.
When ingested( including the newborn child), this amino acid improves the course of neurological diseases, relieves obsessive conditions and syndromes;helps early recovery and stabilization of the situation.
From the biological point of view, Glycine is a neurotransmitter that reduces and regulates the excretion of nervous system-causing fluids in the body. What is the drug for infants?
Glycine is prescribed to newborn children by a neurologist if:
- they suffered a birth injury,
- during their appearance, hypoxia( lack of oxygen) occurred.
In compliance with the recommended dosage of the drug, the doctor perfectly copes with neurologic disorders( for example, with perinatal encephalopathy) and improves his neurological condition, including removing hypertension of the extremities, tremor and correcting the behavior.
The child will not be at risk by using the exact recommended doses if Glycine is prescribed for a valid reason, and not just for the prevention of nervous disorders.
Dosages and administration: opinion of
physicians For newborn babies, the usual oral route or absorption of Glycine tablets under the tongue is not suitable, there are other options for using the medication:
- The crushed part of the tablet is put in a small amount of water and mixed. The child uses an aqueous solution from a spoon or a pipette.
- A solution, also formed by crushing an appropriate amount of ( in this case a tablet).Then the resulting mixture( rather an aqueous solution) is poured into the bottle, if the practice of artificial feeding is used and the child is not afraid of this method of introducing the liquid inside( in contrast to those kids who are accustomed to breastfeeding).
- You can dipped the tip of the pacifier's pacifier into powder , grinded out of a pill, and give it to the child, performing the action as an ordinary and customary gesture for a small child( ritual).
The dose for newborns is from a quarter( 0.25 mg) to half a tablet( 0.5 mL).Glycine is taken two or three times a day for one month. 
In the opinion of pediatricians in the absence of sensitivity to the drug, its use poses no threat to the health of the child.
The main thing - to monitor the state of the baby after the first and second reception. When an allergic reaction occurs, the drug is immediately stopped.
But for those children who tolerate the medicine well, it is possible( according to the latest data) to increase the current portion as needed and, of course, to prescribe a doctor, in some cases up to two or three times.
Truth is to be found in parental feedbacks of
Reviews of moms who already use Glycine to improve the condition of their newborn babies.
My son was prescribed a course of taking Glycine on the fourth part of the pill at a time. We drank twice a day. A month later, I noticed some changes in the behavior of my child - he ceased to constantly clench the fists. The doctor said that the child's hyper-reaction decreased. Now we have a break in admission, and after a while, if you need it, you will be assigned one more course. We are satisfied with the result.

I recently gave birth. The son is healthy, but very loud. At all ears pawns, when he yells, and does it almost without ceasing. Doctors say that something with nerves and appoint Glytsin. I heard that it is not harmful, so I started to give it, stirring with water.

In our family, the drug has a completely trustful attitude. Some of its adult members use amino acid Nootropil, so why not try to give Glycin to a baby?
Moreover, the neuropathologist has assured me that the drug will help the child calm down and establish a process of healthy knowledge of the outside world. So I give it as prescribed by the doctor every day.

My child is already the ninth month. The doctor advised me to buy Glycin for the baby, since he behaved too excitedly. Although in general the child is calm, but recently he failed unsuccessfully for a walk and broke his leg.
That's why we often appear in the hospital, because of what he is going through. After much thought, we decided to start using the drug. We took half the pill twice a day: morning and evening. I noticed a slight change in the condition of the child.

We( for me and a four-month-old child) were prescribed Glycin, since my baby became very sleepy, although there have never been such problems before. Even motion sickness did not help, no matter how long I did not rock it.
The doctor reassured me: he said that at this age there can be similar problems when falling asleep. For a start, I decided to take a pill a week to evaluate their effect. It turned out - it helps, though not immediately. Consultation of the neurologist has benefited! I advise - your baby can help. But you must first go to the doctor and then buy the medicine. Be healthy you and your baby!

Replacement with analogues
If necessary, Glycine can be replaced with analogues such as Glycised, Cortexin, Cytoflavin, Tenoten. In the event of a replacement, you must re-execute the actions that will protect you and your child from unpleasant surprises in the form of undesirable side effects.
This refers to a visit to the doctor, an examination of the child and follow-up after receiving.
What is better for newborns, Tenoten or Glycine? Both of these drugs officially operate in the same way, but each child has its own tolerance( or intolerance).That's why it's hard to recommend one thing to everyone.

Briefly about the main
Glycine, as an amino acid, is a neurotransmitter for both newborns and adults, so its reception improves the processes in the nerve cells of a person of any age.
That's why when taking the drug babies, they have a normalization of the processes of inhibition in the central nervous system.
Glycine, also called( according to the chemical composition) aminoacetic acid, is produced in the body of a healthy person in certain quantities. This drug has a neurometabolic, neuroprojective, antioxidant effect.
Despite the fact that the drug does not accumulate in the body and does not have a negative effect, it can be prescribed only by a neuropathologist, and it can not be used for prevention and self-treatment.
