help for baby colic

having a baby with colic is distressing both for the mum and for the baby.

A recent study suggests that bacteria in the gut cause inflammation and the distress associated with colic.

Probiotics are known to increase the number of good bacteria and reduce the number of bad bacteria in the gut, but you need to be careful about giving young children probiotics willy-nilly.

Fortunately among all the other great probiotic formulae we sell there's a probiotic formula specifically for children (over 6 months of age). It comes in sachets and so can be added to food.

It's also great for pregnant mums, helping them to give the right strains of bacteria to their baby as it comes down the birth canal.
