Udo's Infant Probiotic 2 billion

Udo's Infant blend contains 7 infant- and toddler-specific bacterial strains at an appropriate strength for children 0-5 years of age, formulated to reflect healthy infant microflora.
It Provides B. infantis, the most important micro-organism in the large intestine, facilitates healthy weight gain in infants by promoting proper digestion of a healthy diet, and prevents infant diarrhea. It is in a convenient powder format and can be added to infant formula or other liquid as part of a meal.

Bifidobacteria – including B. infantis, B. bifidum and B. breve – should represent the largest population of beneficial bacteria in babies, as their immune defences are not yet fully working. Babies get these friendly bacteria from their mothers as they pass through a clean and healthy birth canal. Approximately 60% of full-term newborns who were born vaginally had B. infantis in their feces (as they should), as opposed to only 9% of babies born by Caesarean section. Also, breastfed babies have a healthier composition of intestinal microflora than formulafed babies; this is because the heat used to pasteurize formula kills all bacteria (both good and bad). The specific strains used in Infant's Blend have been specially chosen for their value to infant health.

Recommended dose: To restore healthy intestinal flora, dissolve half a teaspoon three times a day in formula or other liquid. To maintain healthy intestinal flora, dissolve half a teaspoon once a day in formula or other liquid.
