Product Description

Introducing our gentle, yet potent Infant Probiotic powder, with the same GutPro® Infant formula you know and love. Created in small batches, especially for your baby's developing digestive system.

This pure, custom blend contains seven clinically-proven probiotic strains naturally found in healthy infants (and nothing else!) — to help colonize little intestines with beneficial bacteria from the start.

It may help with common baby digestive issues like colic, reflux (GERD), occasional mild diarrhea, constipation, and skin issues like mild rashes and eczema.* It also may ease irritability, providing satiation, lightness, and better rest for all of you.*

Comes with a handy dosage spoon so you can measure the perfect amount for your little nugget. 😉

Dosage Directions

Always start with a smidge! Use one Smidge® spoonful (20 mg). Take once a day, with food, or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below.)

Product comes with a dosage spoon.

Start low and slow: Our supplements are premium, pure and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.

How to take: Use your mini dosage spoon to accurately measure your desired dose of probiotic powder. You can sprinkle Smidge® Infant Probiotic on lukewarm or cold food. Or it can be mixed in breastmilk, formula, a smoothie or organic milk of choice. For toddlers and older children, the Infant Probiotic can be taken with an organic fat, like butter, ghee, emu oil or coconut oil. See dosage instructions above for more info.

Storage

Smidge® Infant Probiotic powder requires refrigeration for long-term storage. Keep away from moisture. Can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks while traveling.

What does Infant Probiotic do?

We conceived this formula to help your baby develop a healthy microbiome and to balance digestion.*

Our customers use Smidge® Infant Probiotic for an array of reasons that rank high on the new-parent checklist:

  • To colonize their babies’ digestive tracts with beneficial bacteria and support immunity
  • To help with digestive issues such as colic, acid reflux (GERD), occasional diarrhea or constipation in their kiddies
  • For restful sleep and balancing mood*
  • Or even to soothe common skin issues, like mild rashes and eczema*

Thoughtful blend of beneficial strains to avoid negative reactions

Just as important, Smidge® Infant Probiotic does not contain certain strains (or prebiotics) found in many commercial brands that can cause histamine intolerance, d-lactic acidosis or other adverse reactions.

You also won’t find common allergens, additives or fillers.

Research, testing and feedback — from docs and parents like you

To give you even more peace of mind, we developed this clean Infant Probiotic blend following extensive research and feedback from doctors, certified health practitioners — and parents like you.

Our strains are non-GMO, tested for purity and banked in recognized microbial culture collections — so you only get safe, natural baby probiotics for your snuggly bundle of joy.

7 probiotic strains, with B. infantis

Our formula contains seven tested-and-true strains of human probiotics:

  • B. infantis
  • B. bifidum
  • B. breve
  • B. longum
  • B. lactis
  • L. gasseri
  • L. salivarius.

Bifidobacterium infantis, a strain that dominates in breastfed babies' intestines, comprises 50% of our formula, as studies show it supports a robust immune system, growth and healthy digestion.*

How probiotics can have a lifetime impact

Here's how probiotics can have a lifetime impact, according to published scientific studies:

  • The first bacteria to colonize an infant's gut affects the development of its digestive system. And healthy bacteria help babies develop a sophisticated, durable inner intestinal lining.*
  • Gut bacteria make it possible for babies to digest breast milk effectively, and gain the milk's full nutritional and microbial benefits.*
  • Probiotic bacteria can help babies transition to life outside the womb by supporting the immune system as it develops into a protective and well-regulated force.*
  • Probiotic bacteria have the intelligence to aid with diarrhea and constipation, by modulating and regulating water in the colon to provide regularity.*
  • Research on infant microbiomes and the brain reveals that a healthy gut is critical for developing a sharp, limber brain.*
  • Check out our ingredients section for more on the benefits of probiotics for babies.

Who can use Infant Probiotic?

While we created Smidge® Infant Probiotic for infants and tots (pitter patter!), teens, adults and seniors can use it too. Especially those with sensitive digestive systems, who want a balanced, gentle beginner’s formula.

And because it contains only pure probiotics (and absolutely no prebiotics), Smidge® Infant Probiotic works beautifully with real-food, dietary protocols, including:

GAPS, SIBO, Body Ecology,
Autism/PDD-NOS, PANDAS/PANS,

Paleo, AIP, Ketogenic,
and gluten-free/casein-free/soy-free.*

(Please note that while this probiotic may be suitable for people on these diets, we do not claim it cures the health conditions that prompt the diets.)

Fed is best and all births are beautiful

We understand that fed is best. And we have many parents who aren’t able to breastfeed and choose to use Infant Probiotic for its additional beneficial bacteria. This is because B. Infantis comprises 50% of the formula, and its human milk oligosaccharides (energy sources) can help effectively digest and absorb carbs for babies not consuming breast milk.*

We also have new-parent customers who opt to give this supplement to their babes post- C-section, to replace commensal flora that may have been lost due to the procedure, antibiotics and baby's alternate route from the birth canal.*

What is in Smidge® Infant Probiotic Powder?

Health experts love Smidge® Infant Probiotic Powder

While this probiotic ain't cheap, it does have the best reviews and reputation. I know many moms who have used it with great success for everything from skin issues to digestion to mood.*

With your doctor's approval, consider supplementing yourself and/or baby with probiotics, fish oil... to support immune function. Certain bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides is delayed in infants born by C-section, so probiotics that include these strains may help reduce the incidence of allergy, atopic diseases, and immune concerns. If you're breastfeeding, probiotics will be delivered to your breastmilk. You can also administer the probiotics directly to your baby by mixing the powder/drops into bottles or choosing a formula with probiotics. Some of the well-researched strains include L. rhamnosus, L. reuteri, B. infantis, and B. lactis. In some cases, babies do better with blends that are mostly B. infantis and only contain histamine-neutral or histamine-degrading strains of probiotics like [Smidge® Infant Probiotic].

Frequently Asked Questions

How many strains does this formula have?

Our Infant Probiotic contains seven clinically-proven human probiotic strains (B. infantis, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. longum, B. lactis, L. gasseri and L. salivarius). Check out our ingredients section for more on the benefits of these probiotics for babies. 

We use only the highest-quality probiotic bacteria: All strains have been thoroughly researched, documented and banked in recognized microbial culture collections. And, our strains are non-GMO and tested for purity.

What strains were omitted from your Infant Probiotic, to avoid negative reactions?

We want nothing but gentleness for your baby. Smidge® Infant Probiotic does not contain certain strains found in other probiotics that can cause histamine intolerance, d-lactic acidosis or other adverse reactions.* This means no strains that produce d-lactate, no streptococcus thermophilus, no spore-forming strains; and only histamine-neutral and histamine-degrading strains. It also does not contain prebiotics.

Why is L. plantarum omitted?

No plants here. L. plantarum, a plant-based strain, is omitted in Smidge® Infant Probiotic because L. plantarum is a very potent strain that increases the potency of a probiotic formula. Because we wanted the infant formula to be less potent than the original Sensitive Probiotic powder, we did not include it.

Customers concerned about d-lactate production may also prefer the omission of L. plantarum as it produces a small amount of d-lactate. However, it's important to remember that it helps balance the production of L-lactate.

Does Smidge® Infant Probiotic contain prebiotics?

There are no prebiotics in Smidge® Infant Probiotic. This is because prebiotics like inulin and maltodextrin are often included in other commercial brands as fillers, yet can feed pathogens and cause negative reactions in people with sensitive digestive systems.

Breast milk already has its own unique prebiotics. And prebiotics have been added to infant formulas with beneficial effects. But bottom line, we want parents to be able to carefully develop their children's diets according to their unique situations.

Is the Infant Probiotic free of all additives?

Yes! Smidge® Infant Probiotic does not contain additives, common allergens or fillers. This means no excipients or other added ingredients, such as magnesium stearate, silica or titanium dioxide.

Is the Infant Probiotic free of common allergens?

Absolutely. Smidge® Infant Probiotic is free of common allergens. All strains are grown on a dairy-free, soy-free, vegetarian, non-GMO culture. It does not contain milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat/gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, yeast, corn or soy.

Is the Infant Probiotic freeze-dried or live?

Smidge® Infant Probiotic is comprised of freeze-dried bacteria. Old school probiotics contained live cultures that died in transit due to warm temperatures. Freeze-dried bacteria can withstand warmer temperatures during transit.

What kind of diet works best when taking Smidge® Infant Probiotic?

Our Infant Probiotic powder works best with a wholesome, real food diet for mom and baby. Think healthy fats, organic or raw milk, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meat, organic vegetables; and the elimination of GMOs, additives, preservatives, chemicals and processed sugar/flour.

Tell me more about the studies on B. Infantis.

B. Infantis is amazing! As we touched on in the ingredients section, Bifidobacterium infantis is prevalent in the GI tracts of breastfed babies, as it feeds on unique oligosaccharides found in breast milk that infants can't digest — leaving little room for unwanted bacteria and supporting a healthy digestive ecosystem.*

In a scientific study, moms and infants received a B. infantis preparation and lactation support from a week to three weeks after birth. The bacteria quickly established themselves in the babies, crowding out other gut bacteria associated with intestinal problems and immune-related conditions such as asthma, allergies and autoimmune disease.*

Meanwhile, another study discovered that nearly all babies born in developed nations (including the U.S.) no longer have B. infantis. It was hypothesized that an increase in cesarean sections, infant formula and antibiotics reduced this beneficial bacteria. This study stated that a stressed microbiome composition may lead to chronic inflammation and immune-mediated diseases, highlighting an increase in infant intestinal dysbiosis. T According to research noted in the same study, the good news is that remodeling of the gut microbiome in breastfed infants fed B. infantis improved gut function and ecosystem productivity.*

B. Infantis (as well as several other strains in the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium families) also produce folate, necessary for infant development and growth and red blood cell creation.*

Where are the ingredients in Smidge® Infant Probiotic sourced and where is the supplement made?

The strains in our baby probiotics are sourced and produced in the U.S. :)

Can you ship Smidge® Infant Probiotic powder in hot temperatures?

Yes! Smidge® Infant Probiotic (and all of our probiotics!) can be shipped when it's hot outside. Because it requires refrigeration, we only ship orders Monday through Wednesday using two-day premium shipping services, including tracking. We also have an overnight shipping option.

Smidge® probiotics are freeze-dried, so they hold up well to warm temperatures.

If a baby is breastfed, do they not need this product?

We know fed is best. 😊 Regardless of whether your baby is breastfeeding or takes her nourishment from the bottle, a premium infant probiotic can help colonize little intestines with beneficial bacteria from the start, and offer digestive comfort, regularity and immunity.*

Smidge® Infant Probiotic consists of 50% Bifidobacterium infantis, which dominates in breastfed babies' intestines. This is also beneficial for nursing mom to baby, because the amount of healthy bacteria baby receives is dependent on mom's diet and microbiome. And let's face it, new moms do all the things, so sometimes getting all four food groups in can be a feat, and therefore, we need probiotic supplementation (Plus, balanced gut bacteria make it possible for babies to digest breast milk effectively, and to gain the milk's full nutritional benefits.*)

See, newborns are exposed to their mother's bacteria when making their way down the birth canal. This kicks off the production of good and sometimes pathogenic bacteria in the baby's GI tract.

All of this means the right blend of beneficial bacteria — in the form of probiotic-rich foods and clean supplements — is the life force inside you and your little one. And gut flora is responsible for how your kiddies respond to almost everything, from their pitter-patter of little feet to their grown-up steps on their health journeys.

    Works great for newborns!

    I’ve used this for both my children to help get their bowels moving and it’s been fantastic! It helped when they were in distress trying to pass gas/poop. I just put half the spoon full on my finger and put it in their mouth before nursing.

    Belly Pain Disappears

    My toddler granddaughter was having such intense bouts of belly pain, that we had been to the pediatrician twice before finding Smidge. Let's just say, traditional medicines don't help an unbalanced GI tract. Our gut instinct (pun intended) was to pursue a natural remedy. Smidge got us there! Thank you!
