Babies & Children Probiotics

Preparation

• Best taken with a meal, preferably with breakfast.
• Simply mix with your child's favorite foods or drinks - sprinkle the powder over cereal, mix in with yogurt or dissolve in water or cold milk.
• Can be taken with formula milk - simply add to the bottle once it has cooled down to room temperature (as heat reduces the viability of natural bacteria).
• For breastfed babies, powder can be applied to nipple or clean finger for baby to suckle.

Recommended amount

• Give one sachet daily.
• If desired or professionally directed, can be increased to 2 sachets a day.

Customer reviews

• Totally love this product, I have both my children on these probiotics my eldest boy being 6 and my youngest girl being 9 months. It supports both of them with immunity and helps my little girl with wind after her bottle. I put the powder in her last bottle at night and she sleeps through contently. When I have run out previously she has woken several times so I know they must be helping her stomach.

• Excellent product!

• This is such a fabulous product. Having tried various other probiotics this is by far the best we have used. Our 5 year old daughter didn't notice it in her cereal at all and once she did spot me adding it to her cereal, she now refers to it as 'the magic powder' and asks for it to be added! I would highly recommend to anyone considering purchasing!
