Dosage Directions:
Always start with a smidge! Use one Smidge® spoonful (20 mg). Take once a day, with food, or as directed by a certified healthcare practitioner. (See "low and slow" note below.)
Product comes with a dosage spoon.
Start low and slow: Our 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.
How to take: Use your mini dosage spoon to accurately measure your desired dose of probiotic powder. You can sprinkle Smidge® Infant Probiotic on lukewarm or cold food. Or it can be mixed in breastmilk, formula, a smoothie or organic milk of choice. For toddlers and older children, the Infant Probiotic can be taken with an organic fat, like butter, ghee, emu oil or coconut oil. See dosage instructions above for more info.

What does Infant Probiotic do?
We conceived this formula to help your baby develop a healthy microbiome and to balance digestion.*
Our 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

- 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.

Our 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
Our 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 affects 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 we 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, and gluten-free/casein-free/soy-free.*
(Please note that while this probiotic may be suitable for people on these diets, we do not claim it cures the health conditions that prompt the diets.)
Fed is best and all births are beautiful
We understand that fed is best. And we have many parents who aren’t able to breastfeed and 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.*
We also have new-parent customers who opt to give this supplement to their babes post- C-section, to replace commensal flora that may have been lost due to the procedure, antibiotics and baby's alternate route from the birth canal.*

What is in Smidge® Infant Probiotic Powder?
-
Bifidobacterium infantis: B. infantis is a folate-producing beneficial bacteria, primarily found in the gastrointestinal tracts of healthy infants (and human mouths) and breastfed babies. It may be critical in establishing a healthy intestinal lining and a robust and well-regulated immune system.* Research has also linked B. infantis to helping mitigate inflammation* Research suggests B. infantis regulates the production of tryptophan, the precursor for serotonin (the neurotransmitter associated with a sense of satisfaction and happiness). A note on folate: it’s one of the B vitamins responsible for tissue growth and cell function.
-
Bifidobacterium bifidum: Bifidobacteria are a group of bacteria that typically live in the human intestines and stomach, that help to perform essential functions like digestion and maintaining beneficial bacteria. One study suggests that B. bifidum may support immunity by staving off colds and touches of the flu in the winter months. Another clinical study indicates B. bifidum may help with abdominal discomfort caused by gas and bloating.* Another study states that B. bifidum can help with occasional diarrhea.* Clinical research suggests that B. bifidum can help maintain comfortable joint movement.* There’s also a correlation to improved mental health (boosting mood and providing calm), as bifidobacterium is classified as a “psychobiotic”, which affects central nervous system-related functions and behaviors mediated by the gut-brain axis.
-
Bifidobacterium longum: One of the first bacteria to colonize our bodies at birth, B. longum is associated with helping to digest milk and other challenging foods, as it produces lactic acid from the fermentation of sugar in the gut.* Research suggests that B. longum may support immunity and growth in children.* It’s also linked to helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range. And it’s been studied to help alleviate stress, support cognition and restful sleep, and help even out mood and behavior.
-
Lactobacillus salivarius: L. salivarius is one of the most prevalent probiotic species in human saliva. It produces organic acids from carbohydrates, such as lactic acid and acetic acid. L. salivarius helps keep the microbial population in the mouth healthy, thus staving off childhood cavities when used with a real food diet.* Also, several clinical trials indicate that L. salivarius seems to help support the immune system and, as a result, support healthy skin.* Importantly, researchers state that it may keep the vagina healthy and comfortable by promoting a healthy pH balance. It's been shown to ease atopic dermatitis.
-
Bifidobacterium breve: B. breve is one of the most helpful probiotic bacteria in the human body due to its unique ability to compete with harmful bacteria by digesting various molecules. It’s also prevalent in the colons of breastfed babies. B. breve is linked to helping with occasional constipation in children.* And when combined with a gluten-free (real food) diet, B. breve promotes microbial balance in children’s digestive tracts.* B. breve seems to play a role in helping to establish a healthy microbiome, based on trials involving preterm babies. And, clinical research suggests it may be useful in recolonizing the guts of children who have undergone chemotherapy. B. breve is also an essential strain for c-section babies — to help replace commensal flora.
-
Bifidobacterium lactis: A transient probiotic bacteria that inhabits the human intestines and the colon, B. lactis breaks down body waste and aids in the absorption of various vitamins and minerals.* One study showed that B. lactis helped preterm babies gain weight and helped develop their immune systems.* Beyond the babies, extensive research has shown that B. lactis is beneficial for abdominal comfort and proper digestion, helping to get the colon in shape and making occasional constipation a thing of the past.* Notably, preliminary lab research indicates B. lactis shows exciting potential in neutralizing certain issues associated with wheat. It’s also been found to aid the respiratory system.
-
Lactobacillus gasseri: L. gasseri is naturally found in the human digestive and urinary tracts. Preliminary research indicates that L. gasseri may inhibit inflammation signaling at the genetic level and stimulate the immune response.* It has antimicrobial properties and may ease mild, occasional gas, constipation, bloating and diarrhea.*
