Have used these drops since birth for my son and I recently ran out and couldn’t get hold of any for a while and I noticed such a difference in him that I was desperate to get more!! With the drops his wind is so much better and easier to pass and he poos regularly and is generally happier in himself! Fab product, highly recommended!
-
Fabulous stuff! Daughter is bottle fed and wasn't pooing for over a week at a time. For the last 2 days she's been passing so much has and done one poo a day so that's progress!! Will definitely be keeping this up 🥰

Baby probiotics are food supplements containing friendly bacteria naturally found in a baby’s gut, such as Bifidobacteria. An imbalance in a baby's gut microbiome may cause occasional digestive upsets or gas. Supplementing with good bacteria can help maintain balance in the developing infant gut flora (1,2).

Research has shown that giving infants certain probiotic strains, such as Bifidobacterium breve M-16V®, can help to increase levels of other good Bifidobacteria in the developing infant gut(1,2). Bifidobacterium breve M-16V® has also been shown to soothe colic(2), support immune health(3), and improve allergies(4). They're a highly recommended natural supplement for colic relief in babies (5).

It can be tricky giving probiotics to a baby, but Optibac Probiotics Baby Drops easy-to-use dropper makes this simple! You can drop the liquid onto on a nipple, clean finger, or spoon; add to cool, non-acidic drinks, or directly into baby’s mouth.
Supporting the microbiome in early years can be very worthwhile. Optibac Probiotics Baby Drops is designed for daily, ongoing use in new-borns, babies, and young children, to support their developing gut flora. But like other colic relief drops, they can also be given as and when required.
We recommend giving baby probiotics with the first feed or meal of the day. This helps the delicate friendly bacteria pass safely through your baby’s tummy and into the gut.
