Baby Probiotic Drops Everyday

Our baby was having a really hard time with gas and seemed to struggle to pass it comfortably. After seeing these recommended by other parents, I decided to give them a try. At first, I only used a couple of drops a day and didn’t notice much of a difference. After about a week, I started giving the full recommended 5 drops daily, and his gas improved significantly. He seemed much more comfortable, especially during the evenings. They’re also incredibly easy to give, and my baby doesn’t mind taking them at all. We’ll definitely keep these on hand.

I have been using these drops for my baby since he was 5 weeks old (he's now 38 weeks). He was 6.5 weeks premature and had a lot of issues with spitting up, gas, and constipation (especially because he was sent home on Neosure. That stuff is the worst for baby's tummy!) The drops helped ease (but not eliminate) his symptoms when he was little. His pediatrician said there's no evidence that probiotic drops help, but I decided to just keep using them since I did see an improvement. He gets them every single night in a small bottle of formula, along with his multivitamins and, if needed, gas medicine or acetaminophen. Since I had been using them for so long, I wasn't sure they were actually helping. However, last month I ran out and decided to discontinue them to see if there was any change. Well, there was! After a week or so he started spitting up after bottles, got a bit constipated, and was more gassy. I thought it must have been because we were starting solids, but I ordered some more drops anyway. I started giving them to him every night again, and within a week he was doing much better. So, bottom line, these drops help my baby! I will probably continue to give these to him until he is 1-2 years old and then switch to something for kids. I won't be using the Mommy's Bliss brand though, because all they have is gummies. Just a note on the dropper top: The first time I got the bottle I had a lot of issues getting the top off and was sure it was defective. When you screw the dropper top on, tighten it securely and then gently twist off to reveal the rubber dropper part.

These probiotic drops have been great for supporting my baby’s digestion. Easy to add to a bottle or give directly, and the dropper makes dosing simple. They seem gentle and helped with overall tummy comfort. A helpful addition to our daily routine. Baby girl doesnt seem to taste a difference, drinks it in her bottles no problem. These are odor free in comparison to others ive tried.

I love these probiotic drops! I have tried a few and these are by far my favorite option out there for babies. I have used them with both of my kiddos. They work almost instantly in helping my little one start to regulate bowel movements which helps his colic majorly! If you have a colicky baby try these drops for a few days and they will help them with gassiness, and tummy issues! My newest son became a different baby when I started using these. I like that it’s mostly clean ingredients considering it’s for little infants as well. I don’t notice a smell and there must be no taste because my baby never fights it. I like this brand because you can squeeze it into the bottles where other brands make you put it on a spoon and spoon it into their mouth which can be a pain when you’re dealing with a tiny baby. The squeeze top is so easy to use, I just wish they offered larger sizes.

My baby got a UTI when he was 5 weeks old, which is a bacterial infection. He had to take antibiotics, which kill off good and bad bacteria, so the doctor recommend taking infant probiotic supplements to restore the good bacteria to his system. This has been working well for us. It has an oily consistency, has no smell, and you can see little bits in the dosage (see photo). My baby tolerates this, but he does not like it. Granted, he doesn’t spit it out or cry when eating it, but he swallows very slowly. With his antibiotics, which were strawberry flavored, he actively sucked on the medicine until it was all gone then cried for more. This comes with a pretty crappy dropper which is affixed to a lid for the bottle (it comes with 2 lids, one without the dropper). I don’t recommend using this dropper. The supplier dropper cannot be cleaned because the top doesn’t come off. Further, once you’ve suctioned the correct dosage (.33 ml), there’s always a little bit that get stuck at the tip and cannot be pushed out of the dropper. Also, if you put the dropper in your baby’s mouth, and then after that put it back in the bottle (it is a lid, after all), that’s just going to contaminate the bottle with the bacteria from your baby’s mouth. I mean, seriously, think what happens with a half-eaten yogurt container that you stick back in the fridge for a week – it grows mold; well, this bottle contains a 1-month supply! Probiotics are a bacteria that live in the intestines, and help support the immune system and aid with digestion. Improper storage can either kill them, in which case you’d basically be consuming spoiled/rotten food. Probiotic supplements are intended to boost the count of good bacteria in the intestines. So it is better to take this as a single dosage, followed by a meal to help it travel down there. As with any food product, this can spoil and grow mold. After opening, it’s only good for 6 weeks, and it’s better to refrigerate it. Regardless, it cannot be stored above 77* F or it will spoil. I prefer the plastic syringe type applicators, where you can pull off the back and clean off the inside after each use (see the syringe type applicator that I am using). They give them out for free in the hospital. You need the 1 ml applicator, as the dosage is .33ml, so you fill it up to the 3.3 line.

The probiotics drops cleared up thrush on my baby’s tongue and relieved his constipation. My baby is on Similac Sensitive due to lactose sensitivity, and the formula sometimes makes him constipated. The drops make him more regular and his poop softer. Also, his tongue is no longer white or dry. I sterilized my baby’s bottles and nipples, and I also brushed his tongue regularly, but the drops were the only effective solution for the thrush. The oil in the drops has been great at moisturizing his mouth. My baby doesn’t mind the texture or taste of the drops. Yes, the product is expensive for such a small bottle, but it makes my baby happy.

This works to help my son poop within a few hours not even!

I need to start by saying I really love the quality of the probiotic itself. My now 13 month old has been taking these for almost all of her life to help with digestion issues she was having. When she skips a few days, the difference is obvious. HOWEVER, they really need to update the design for the lid! I have no idea why they made it the way they did. The bottle comes with a screw-on cap that you replace with a separate screw-on cap with a rubber dropper piece on it. That rubber dropper piece has a lid covering it that is nearly impossible to remove. At first I thought it was just me, but no, it's just very, very poorly designed packaging. I've gone through lots of bottles of this stuff and about 90% of the time I have an awful time getting that lid off. It's frustrating to say the least, and definitely something you should be warned about if you plan on purchasing these drops. I'm sad to say that I'm ready to move on to a different probiotic now. Maybe I'll be back if they ever decide to fix the cap.
