How Do Probiotics Help with Colic and Wind?
Every new parent hopes for a calm, settled baby, but colic and wind can make the early weeks challenging. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that naturally inhabit the digestive tract. In infants, an imbalance in gut flora may contribute to colic, wind, and excessive crying. The probiotic strain in BioGaia Baby Drops — Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri) — is naturally found in breast milk and has been extensively studied for its role in supporting digestive comfort.* By colonising the gut, this friendly bacterium may help reduce colic symptoms, decrease crying time, and alleviate wind and possetting.* It works naturally, unlike drugs or gripe water, and supports your baby's developing microbiome.
The Added Benefit of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption and bone development in infants. Many babies, especially those who are breastfed or have limited sun exposure, may not get enough from diet alone. BioGaia Baby Drops combine probiotic support with vitamin D (cholecalciferol), providing 400 IU per serving — the recommended daily intake for infants in the UK. This dual-action formula helps maintain healthy bone growth and supports a developing immune system.* By including vitamin D, these drops simplify your baby's supplement routine into a single daily dose.
Safe and Gentle for Newborns
BioGaia Baby Probiotic Drops are formulated with safety in mind. They are free from common allergens: no dairy, soya, gluten, sugar, or artificial colours or flavours. The drops are safe for newborns from day one, whether breastfed, bottle-fed, or mixed-fed. The simple, five-drop dose can be mixed with breast milk, formula, or given directly into the mouth. Each batch is scientifically validated and clinically tested, ensuring quality and purity. Parents can trust BioGaia's commitment to ethically sourced, sustainable ingredients.
Who Might Benefit from These Drops?
While all babies may benefit from a healthy gut, these drops are especially helpful for infants experiencing colic, excessive wind, frequent possetting, or occasional constipation and diarrhoea.* If your baby cries excessively, seems uncomfortable after feedings, or has irregular stools, BioGaia Baby Drops may provide natural relief. They are also an excellent choice for parents seeking a probiotic that includes vitamin D, reducing the need for separate supplements. Always consult your paediatrician before starting any new supplement, especially for newborns.
How to Uses BioGaia Baby Drops
Shake the bottle well before each uses. Give five drops once daily — either directly into your baby's mouth, on a dummy, or mixed with breast milk, formula, or food at room temperature. Do not mix with hot liquids, as heat may damage the probiotics. Each bottle contains a 25-day supply, and this pack includes two bottles for 50 days total. Store the drops in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Refrigeration is not necessary but can extend freshness.
