Kendamil Baby Probiotic Drops - 0.25 fl oz

A: Yes, my 3 month old does

A: Appropriate for 0-3 years, so yes.

A: Yes, Kendamil Probiotic Drops are suitable from birth. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

A: Whilst the drops can be spaced out if need be we recommend that all 5 are given at once so that our busy parents don’t potentially forget, and we can ensure that the little ones are getting the full, effective dose. Hope this helps!

A: Probiotic drops can help support gut balance, and there is some research showing certain probiotic strains may help improve stool frequency/consistency for some children, but it isn’t guaranteed and it won’t work the same way as an osmotic laxative (which pulls water into the bowel). During potty training, constipation is very often behavioural (holding/withholding) as well as diet- and hydration-related, so the most effective approach is usually fluids, fibre, regular toilet sits, and addressing any withholding — and it’s best to check in with your pediatrician if constipation is persistent, painful, or associated with blood in the stool. Hope this helps!

A: Hi Anna, thanks for reaching out, and congratulations on your newborn! For a newborn, the recommended serving is 5 drops once a day, as per the instructions on the pack. You can give the drops directly onto a spoon, onto the nipple/teat, or mix into formula/breast milk. In terms of constipation: while every baby is different, there are clinical studies showing that certain probiotic strains can help support digestive comfort and bowel regularity in infants, which may help with firmer stools/constipation for some babies. They aren’t a laxative, so results can vary, and it can take a little time (often a week or two of daily use) to see a change. If your little one seems very uncomfortable, has hard pellet-like stools, blood in the stool, a swollen tummy, or you’re worried at all (especially with a newborn), it’s best to check in with your midwife/GP/health visitor for tailored advice.

A: Kendamil Probiotic Baby Drops provide friendly bacteria that can support a healthy gut balance. Some probiotic strains (including Lactobacillus rhamnosus and L. reuteri like those in our drops) have been studied for shortening the course of common diarrhoea in infants. They are not a medicine and won’t treat dehydration or a bacterial illness, but many parents use them alongside their clinician’s advice.

A: Hi LcGaraya, great question! In general, it’s fine for a breastfeeding parent to take a probiotic while also giving their baby our Probiotic Baby Drops. They act locally in the gut and using both isn’t considered a “double dose.” We suggest introducing one change at a time for a few days so you can see how baby responds, using the drops exactly as on the label (dose, storage, and how to give). If your little one was premature, has health conditions, or you have any concerns, it’s always best to check with your pediatrician/health visitor first. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for reaching out. Each pack of our Kendamil Probiotic Drops should come with a dropper included – it’s sealed inside plastic wrapping within the box. We’re so sorry that this appears to be missing from your pack. As your purchase was made through Target, we kindly ask you to contact their customer service directly for a refund or replacement. Thank you.

A: Yes, Kendamil Probiotic Baby Drops can be mixed into water or milk — this is perfectly fine for a fussy eater, including a three-year-old. Just be sure the liquid isn't too hot, as high temperatures can reduce the effectiveness of the live cultures.

A: Yes, Kendamil Probiotic Drops can generally be taken alongside gas relief drops. Many parents choose to use both to support their little one’s digestive comfort. We do recommend giving them at separate times of day if possible (e.g. one in the morning, one in the evening), and always following the dosing instructions on each product. As with any supplements, if you have any specific concerns or if your baby is under medical care, it’s a good idea to check with your pediatrician before combining products.

A: Hi Regina, our Probiotic baby drops daily dose contain 375 million, or 10^8 CFU live bacteria. Hope this helps!
