Why does my baby need probiotics?
Babies are born with virtually untouched systems, and their first exposure to bacteria happens when they’re born. While they received their first “inoculation” during birth, giving your baby probiotics early on can ensure they receive the beneficial bacteria they need to properly colonize their intestines with healthy microflora. A healthy gut can set the stage for good health as they grow, strengthening digestion and building a strong immune system.
Is Organic Liquid Probiotic safe for my baby?
Absolutely. Probiotics have been established as safe and beneficial in helping babies develop healthy and strong digestive and immune systems.* We specifically chose the probiotic Lactospore for its long history of use and safety. In 2008, Lactospore held a self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by an independent and qualified panel of scientific experts. Plus, all of Wellements products are thoroughly tested for safety and follow strict FDA regulations.
How quickly does Organic Liquid Probiotic work?
Our Organic Liquid Probiotic can start working immediately, but could take up to 20 minutes to kick in. It varies from fussy baby to fussy baby. Our probiotic can also be used as a daily probiotic supplement to help overall digestive and immune health.*
How do I give it to my baby, and how often should I give it to them?
It’s pretty easy, actually. Simply mix the probiotic packet with the gripe water and shake well before each use. Fill the syringe provided with the recommended dose and then slowly administer toward your baby’s inner cheek.
Be sure to refrigerate your bottle after opening and wash and dry the syringe thoroughly after each use.
You can give your baby Liquid Probiotic daily as a probiotic supplement. For fussy babies, go ahead and use it up to 6 times in a 24-hour period as needed.
What if I forget to refrigerate my Organic Liquid Probiotic?
If the Organic Liquid Probiotic bottle has been left unrefrigerated for more than a couple hours, or left in high heat, we recommend throwing it away. Because we don’t use preservatives, think of Organic Liquid Probiotic like milk or juice: if you left it out for the same amount of time, would you toss it? If the answer is yes, then the same applies to Organic Liquid Probiotic.
How long can I keep my bottle of Organic Liquid Probiotic?
Check the date on the bottle to know how long to keep an unopened bottle. An opened bottle should be used or discarded within 4 weeks.
Is Organic Liquid Probiotic FDA approved?
Since Organic Liquid Probiotic falls under the category of dietary supplements, it doesn’t require FDA approval. But we are always compliant with every FDA regulation in our category. Your baby’s safety is our top priority.
