Warning: Smidge's supplements are premium, pure, and potent. Therefore, it's critically important to start slowly, with a lower dosage than recommended. For example, a minimal dose every other day, or even once a week, until you can determine how the supplement affects your body and what feels right for you.
Storage: Smidge® Infant Probiotic powder requires refrigeration for long-term storage. Keep away from moisture. Can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks while traveling.

What does Infant Probiotic do?
Smidge conceived this formula to help your baby develop a healthy microbiome and to balance digestion.
Customers use Smidge® Infant Probiotic for an array of reasons that rank high on the new-parent checklist:
- To colonize their babies’ digestive tracts with beneficial bacteria and support immunity
- To help with digestive issues such as colic, acid reflux (GERD), occasional diarrhea or constipation in their kiddies
- For restful sleep and balancing mood
- Or even to soothe common skin issues, like mild rashes and eczema
Thoughtful blend of beneficial strains to avoid negative reactions
Just as important, Smidge® Infant Probiotic does not contain certain strains (or prebiotics) found in many commercial brands that can cause histamine intolerance, d-lactic acidosis, or other adverse reactions.
You also won’t find common allergens, additives, or fillers.
Research, testing and feedback — from docs and parents like you
To give you even more peace of mind, we developed this clean Infant Probiotic blend following extensive research and feedback from doctors, certified health practitioners — and parents like you.
Smidge's strains are non-GMO, tested for purity, and banked in recognized microbial culture collections — so you only get safe, natural baby probiotics for your snuggly bundle of joy.
7 probiotic strains, with B. infantis
This formula contains seven tested-and-true strains of human probiotics:
- B. infantis
- B. bifidum
- B. breve
- B. longum
- B. lactis
- L. gasseri
- L. salivarius.
Bifidobacterium infantis, a strain that dominates in breastfed babies' intestines, comprises 50% of our formula, as studies show it supports a robust immune system, growth, and healthy digestion.
How probiotics can have a lifetime impact
Here's how probiotics can have a lifetime impact, according to published scientific studies:
- The first bacteria to colonize an infant's gut affect the development of its digestive system. And healthy bacteria help babies develop a sophisticated, durable inner intestinal lining
- Gut bacteria make it possible for babies to digest breast milk effectively, and gain the milk's full nutritional and microbial benefits
- Probiotic bacteria can help babies transition to life outside the womb by supporting the immune system as it develops into a protective and well-regulated force
- Probiotic bacteria have the intelligence to aid with diarrhea and constipation by modulating and regulating water in the colon to provide regularity
- Research on infant microbiomes and the brain reveals that a healthy gut is critical for developing a sharp, limber brain

Who can use Infant Probiotic?
While Smidge created Smidge® Infant Probiotic for infants and tots (pitter patter!), teens, adults, and seniors can use it too. Especially those with sensitive digestive systems, who want a balanced, gentle beginner’s formula.
And because it contains only pure probiotics (and absolutely no prebiotics), Smidge® Infant Probiotic works beautifully with real-food dietary protocols, including:
- GAPS, SIBO, Body Ecology
- Autism/PDD-NOS, PANDAS/PANS
- Paleo, AIP, Ketogenic
- Gluten-free/casein-free/soy-free
(Please note that while this probiotic may be suitable for people on these diets, Smidge does not claim it cures the health conditions that prompt the diets.)
Fed is best, and all births are beautiful
Smidge understands that fed is best. Many parents who aren’t able to breastfeed choose to use Infant Probiotic for its additional beneficial bacteria. This is because B. Infantis comprises 50% of the formula, and its human milk oligosaccharides (energy sources) can help effectively digest and absorb carbs for babies not consuming breast milk.
Smidge also has new-parent customers who opt to give this supplement to their babies post-C-section, to replace commensal flora that may have been lost due to the procedure, antibiotics, and the baby's alternate route from the birth canal.
