There are many different strains of probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which are all part of a healthy baby's microbiome. Probiotics have numerous beneficial effects, including improved immune response, reduced colic, and prevention of eczema.
What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that stimulates the growth of good bacteria (lactobacilli) in your gut. Baby formula mainly contains galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) obtained from lactose. As GOS are naturally present in breast milk oligo-saccharides, GOS are well-tolerated and can help soften stool, similar to breastfed infants. GOS has several benefits, such as promoting the growth of lactobacilli in your gut, which can improve digestion and boost your baby's immune system.
