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: Hi Anna, thanks for your question! Kendamil Probiotic Baby Drops can be beneficial during episodes of diarrhoea by helping to support a balanced gut microbiome, regulate bowel movements and improve stool consistency. The drops are carried in sunflower oil and have very little taste, making them easy to give to your little one. If your baby is experiencing diarrhoea, we’d always recommend speaking with your pediatrician for advice, particularly before introducing a new supplement.

A: Hi Jess, our Baby Probiotic Drops don’t need to be used alongside Kendamil formula specifically. They can be given independently, so your little one does not need to be drinking Kendamil formula to use them.

A: Thanks for reaching out. We wouldn't recommend continuing to use the drops if you've noticed an unusual plug or particles and have concerns about the product. Please contact our Customer Service team with photos of the product and the batch and expiration details from the packaging so our Quality team can look into this for you.

A: Hi Cal, our Probiotic Baby Drops do not contain egg. They contain no allergens, including no milk, egg, peanut, soy, or fish allergens. 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!
