Probiotics for Babies: Why It's Important for a Healthy Start Probiotics for babies play an essential role in the development of the intestinal flora and the immune system. As a baby coach and neonatology nurse, I see every day how important probiotics are for babies, both preventatively and for existing complaints. In this blog I share the benefits, recent insights and my own experience with probiotics for babies. What is probiotics? Probiotics literally means 'for life'. They are living bacteria and yeasts that have a positive effect on the digestive tract and therefore also on the immune system. In addition to probiotics, there are also prebiotics, which stimulate the growth and activity of probiotics in the large intestine. Probiotics for babies are strain-specific: different types work in different ways. The most common groups: Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium Streptococcus Saccharomyces boulardii Each group has a unique effect on the body. My experience with probiotics for babies as a baby coach My name is Daniëlle Kempers, baby coach, neonatology nurse and owner of Moalie. With years of experience in baby care, I guide parents with expert advice. I often recommend probiotics for babies, for example for cramps, digestive problems or to support the immune system. Even during pregnancy, probiotics can have a positive effect on your baby's intestinal flora. Gut Flora and Babies: How Probiotics Help The intestinal flora of a newborn baby is crucial for a healthy immune system. Probiotics for babies contribute to a better development of this flora. Babies who are born by caesarean section or are bottle-fed have a different bacterial composition than babies who are born vaginally and are breastfed. Fortunately, formula milk is now often enriched with probiotics. The Benefits of Probiotics for Babies Stronger immune system Less chance of eczema and allergies Better digestion, less cramps Less chance of reflux and thrush Less crying in babies with intestinal problems In premature babies, probiotics even appear to protect against NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis). Probiotics for reflux and crying babies Probiotics for babies can alleviate symptoms such as reflux and excessive crying. Studies show that babies who receive probiotics cry less and digest better. Lactobacillus Reuteri in particular is known for this effect. Crying babies often have fewer lactobacilli in their stool. Probiotics in breast milk Breast milk naturally contains probiotics. Breastfeeding therefore helps to build healthy intestinal flora. Did you know that almost 30% of the good bacteria in breastfed babies come through the milk? Mothers can also take probiotics themselves to enhance this effect. Benefits of Probiotics for Mothers Stronger immune system Less chance of infections Supports digestion and blood sugar levels Possible prevention of gestational diabetes and postnatal depression New insights: brain development and probiotics Recent studies show that certain probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium breve, may contribute to the baby's brain development during pregnancy. They improve the transport of nutrients to the brain. Which probiotics do you choose for your baby? Choose a product with proven strains such as Lactobacillus Reuteri. Pay attention to the ingredients and avoid sugar and unnecessary additives. Liquid drops such as those from Vitals are handy for babies.
