Why does my baby need probiotics?

The baby years are some of the most important for microbiome development. This time forms part of the first 1000 days1 of life, which were reported to be instrumental in a child’s overall development. So, having lots of the right bacteria is very important. Scientists acknowledge that a delay in the development in the first year may affect health in later childhood, teen years and adulthood.

As 70% of the immune system is in the gut, this stage is also essential for healthy immune development. Find out more about the importance of probiotics for a child’s immune health. 
With all this in mind, you might want to consider probiotics as a part of your baby’s daily routine.

Babies are in a developmental period, so they may not suit a probiotic targeted towards older children or adults. A probiotic trialled for digestive health in adults might not work the same in infants. This is because their microbiomes are at different stages and may have different bacteria present. Some researchers call this the ‘baby probiotic’’ because it is so distinct! Probiotics designed especially for babies use bacteria that would be present naturally in the gut during these early years.

Baby probiotics often come in different formats to adult probiotics such as powder or drops.

These specific probiotics can aid in supporting your baby right from birth. They’re a great way to foster a healthy gut environment, microbiome and immune system.

Baby Newron combines specific probiotics that can help boost a baby’s immune and digestive system to ensure the baby is active, protected from common infections and grows into a Bonny and Brainy Baby.
