Probiotics for babies and children: nourishing the best start in life

Supporting the first 1,000 days of life for healthy development

The diversity of the gut microbiome and its functions begins in early infancy – with bacterial colonization playing a critical role in gut maturation, as well as metabolic, immune and brain development during the first 1,000 days of life.1,2,3

A healthy baby first establishes a low-diversity gut microbiome dominated by Bifidobacteria. Having the right balance of Bifidobacterium strains in the infant gut plays an especially important role in immunity. However, during the first 1,000 days of life the gut microbiome is influenced by several factors, including whether a baby is born by cesarean, bottle fed or exposed to antibiotics – which can decrease concentrations of protective Bifidobacteria in the gut. This can create challenges, including a higher risk of colic or allergies in babies.

Selected probiotics can help enrich the gut microbiome in babies – fostering healthy microbiota development and restoration. We offer and characterize a range of specially designed probiotic blends to support infants.
