Developing a healthy microbiome—the bacteria that live mainly inside the digestive system—during the first two years of life can set the foundation for a baby’s healthy growth and development. To help support the growth of good bacteria in a baby’s tummy, Culturelle Probiotics has introduced Culturelle Baby, a line of probiotic products specifically formulated for babies 0–24 months.
Factors like a healthy pregnancy, medication and how the baby was delivered and fed, can all contribute to the microbiome development. When one or more of those factors is affected, probiotics can provide babies with good bacteria that help fortify their microbiome.
“A healthy microbiome can have a positive effect on baby's digestive and immune functioning,” said Dr. Jen Trachtenberg, pediatrician and mother of three. “Restoring the balance of good bacteria can be beneficial in the short term by reducing digestive issues that may be causing baby's fussiness, while also helping to build up their natural immune defenses to promote long-term health.”
Culturelle Baby products contain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), the most clinically studied probiotic strain in infants, and are free of GMOs, gluten, dairy, and dyes.
Culturelle Baby Calm + Comfort probiotic drops with Chamomile are designed to help reduce crying and fussiness due to occasional digestive upset, by restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in a baby’s digestive system.
Culturelle Baby Grow + Thrive contains both LGG and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 probiotic strains to help support the healthy development of a baby’s digestive and immune systems. It supplements the good bacteria naturally found in breast milk and contains vitamin D for strong bones.
Culturelle Baby Calm + Comfort and Culturelle Baby Grow + Thrive are offered in drop form and can be dispensed directly into the baby’s mouth, bottle or while breastfeeding for newborns up to 12 months. Grow + Thrive is also available as a flavorless packet that can be mixed into cold or room temperature food or drink for babies 12–24 months.
