Udo’s Choice Infant Blend Microbiotics contain 6 infant & toddler-specific bacterial strains at an appropriate strength, designed specifically to reflect healthy infant digestive microflora (gut bacteria).
The specific strains used in Udo’s Choice Infant Blend Microbiotics have been specially chosen for their value to infant health and have been formulated to the viable count appropriate for infants. It contains bifidobacteria, including B. infantis, B. bifidum and B. breve, which represent the largest population of beneficial bacteria in babies. Each strain has been specifically chosen for it's role in digestive tract health and the balance of strains has been carefully tested to work in harmony together.
All formula's are tested and guarenteed to survive stomach acidity.
Ideal after C section - Babies pick up bifidobacteria, including B. infantis, B. bifidum and B. breve from their mothers during their passage through a clean and healthy birth canal. Studies show that B. infantis was found in approximately 60% of full-term newborns who were born vaginally and only 9% of babies born by caesarean section.
Ideal to combine with formula feeding - Formula fed babies also have significant differences from breastfed babies in the composition of their gut microflora because the heat used to pasteurize formula kills all bacteria.
Ideal for travel - refrigeration ensures maximum potency and stability. However infant blend can be left unrefrigerated for short periods of time, making them convenient for holidays, especially important when travelling to foreign countries to support your child's beneficial microflora and helping to combat foreign micro-organisms that may be in the food and water.
Ideal after antibiotics - antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria so it is important to replenish with a high count beneficial bacteria formula such as after a course of antibiotics.
The powder format has been designed to be added to water, formula or other liquid after it has been heated.
6 Infant specific strains: Lactobacillus casei (HA-108) : 32%, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (HA-111) : 26%, Lactobacillus acidophilus (HA-122) : 21%, Bifidobacterium infantis (HA-116) : 11%, Bifidobacterium bifidum (HA-13) : 5%, Bifidobacterium breve (HA-129) : 5%
Each gram contains:
3 billion viable cells per gram at the time of manufacture and at least 1.7 billion at expiry in a base of maltodextrin, ascorbic acid, and silicon dioxide.
What are Microbiotics?
Microbiotics are the beneficial bacteria that occur throughout the digestive tract. Poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress and disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable bacteria to multiply.
Why do we need Microbiotics? When the ratio of benefical bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. Whilst it is true that non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract problems begin when their growth goes unchecked.
A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85% beneficial bacteria to prevent the over colonisation of disease causing micro organisms like E.coli and Salmonella.

Worked where other products and GPs failed
Our 7mo had explosive diarrhea for weeks. We tried other products from well known brands to no avail. We saw 3 different doctors who couldn't offer a solution, including a pediatrician whose best suggestion was for breastfeeding mum to stop eating dairy. Then we tried this, and within 24 hrs we saw an improvement. Within a month, baby had progressed to rather adult looking poops.
very effective
Bought this for our 5 month old baby as she has been having digestive problems and was waking at night every hour crying and curling in pain. I give her a dose with her milk before bed time and she has been sleeping through the night ever since. Its pricey but worth it. Repurchasing again and definitely recommend.
not safe
I just purchased this for my infant. It says to give 1 gram but doesnt provide any method to measure or dispense this. Kitchen scales are not sensitive enough to measure out 1gram. Ridiculous and not safe as I have no way of knowing if Im providing the correct dose to an infant.
great for constipation/bad digestion
My son had a lot of antibiotics as a newborn and struggled with constipation for a couple of years (whether connected or not I dont know). It was so painful he would cry. I bought this and started mixing it into his juice in the morning and he started going regularly with no issues. Now 4 he has no problems with constipation and I do still give him this when I remember. But when we started out and went away from home (or I forgot to give it to him) it was very very obvious that his bowels were missing the morning probiotic - he would stop going regularly and get constipated again . I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it. I take the adult one too myself now.
Brilliant
After a nasty bug and being prescribed antibiotics, my baby was constantly picking up low level illnesses, after a course of this she is back to her normal healthy self. She has not caught the illnesses doing the rounds at playgroup etc. this really appeared to boosted her system.
C Section Baby
Both of my sons were born by C-Section and both were very sicky after feeds. I did some research into it when my youngest was bringing almost all of his feeds back up and discovered that babies born this way often dont have the good bacteria in their gut to help with digestion. Both had also been on antibiotics in ICU as newborns which further strips digestive flora. It all sounded logical, so I decided to try these probiotics with my youngest. Absolutely amazing results his painful wind and vomiting improved almost overnight. We continued to give him one dose a day and now wouldnt be without it. Sorry for the essay but please do try it if you have a little one in a similar situation!
