We are often asked if it is safe to use our probiotics while nursing.
It is always best to speak to your healthcare provider before adding probiotics to
your routine.
Smidge® Infant Probiotic is a gentle, yet potent custom probiotic created especially for your baby's developing digestive system.
This pure powder contains seven clinically-proven probiotic strains that are naturally found in healthy infants. And it's designed to help colonize little intestines with beneficial bacteria from the get-go.
Bifidobacterium infantis — a notable strain that dominates in breastfed babies' intestines — comprises 50% of Infant Probiotic, as studies show it supports healthy digestion, growth, and immunity in infants (see our ingredients section for more).*
Just as important, Smidge® Infant Probiotic does not contain certain strains (or prebiotics) found in other commercial brands that can cause histamine intolerance, d-lactic acidosis, or different adverse reactions.
You also won't find common allergens, additives, or fillers.
Smidge® Infant Probiotic is formulated specifically to help your baby develop a healthy gut ecosystem and to balance digestion.
It contains seven tested-and-true strains of human probiotics: B. infantis, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. longum, B. lactis, L. gasseri, and L. salivarius
While Smidge® Infant Probiotic was created for infants and toddlers, it can be used by teens and adults as well, especially those with sensitive digestive systems.
Many also use Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic during pregnancy and while nursing with no issues. It is very similar to the infant formula but has an added plant strain, L. plantarum.
