When to give baby probiotics?

Parenting FAQs

Any probiotic that is suitable for babies will state the suitable age group on the label. Look for baby probiotics that are labelled for babies ‘from birth’ on the front of pack. Probiotics may be recommended in specific situations such as when a baby has digestive issues, has been on antibiotics, or has certain health conditions (e.g. colic). Follow guidance from a healthcare professional for the appropriate timing and dosage of probiotics for your baby.
