Garden of Life | RAW Probiotics Kids | 5 Billion CFU Promotes Digestive & Immune Health* | Mild Banana Taste | 3.57 oz Powder

Our 18 month old granddaughter has had tummy problems since she was a month or two old (when her mom could no longer breastfeed and she had to switch to formula). To say that she has a sensitive stomach would be an underestimate. Add constipation to this and you have a very unhappy and miserable toddler.When my husband started having tummy problems, we started probiotics. It was a life-changer for him, so we decided to research probiotics for babies/toddlers. Not all probiotics are created equal or function in the same way. We found this product to contain the proper probiotics for our granddaughter's issues. We were further excited that it is USDA organic and has a stable shelf life.We have had the little one on this product for just 10 days and are already seeing easier BMs and a happier girl. Her appetite is also improving. We mix it in with her milk and she doesn't even know it is there.If your child is having tummy issues or you just want to boost their immune and digestive system functions, we TOTALLY recommend giving this product a try.

I did not get a lot of breast milk after I returned to work no matter how much I pumped. I was looking for a probiotic and nutrition supplement. I used this for him since about 3 months old. My kid NEVER got sick or went to the doctors for a sickness and we have two dogs in the house and I work with old people and am sick a lot. People were always asking me and amazed he never had a fever or runny nose yet. We went on our first trip when he was 15 months and ran out of this stuff so stopped giving him it and bought some other probiotic brand at Walmart during the trip when we ran out. After we stopped this he almost immediately got a runny nose and ear infection. I don't know if this had anything to do with anything. But as soon as we got home I ordered more. I think this is a great product. the blend of organic fruits and vegetables AND probiotics . Wish they would make it for adults.

I have been using this product since the summer for 3 out of my 4 kids. The reason I say 3 out of 4 is that they can't swallow a capsule form so the powder makes it easy to give them. I add it to organic milk or on top of organic cereal with milk. So far we've made it to Jan with no stomach bugs. The past few years we've always had a bug hit around Nov or Dec. So I'm optimistic that this probiotic is doing it's job. I just ordered more. It's not cheap. I use 1/4 tsp per day for each kid (not the recommended serving size), and it still seems to work. It also helps if you give your kids a clean diet daily. My kids do not drink soda or juices. They also must eat fresh fruit or veggies with every meal. And they drink only water or small amounts of milk. And they do eat yogurt. Yeah, they do have snack foods, but we steer clear of sugary snacks and we watch portions on snacks. They do have ice cream on occasion, but again it's a small controlled portion.

I have used the Child Life Colostrum With Probiotics 50 Grams Powder and the Garden of Life Raw Probiotics, Kids, 3.4-Ounce and here is my opinion on each:Child Life:Pros - The serving size for my kid is smaller in this brand than the Garden of Life, so each bottle lasts longer before needing to be ordered again. Probably makes each serving a little cheaper.- The flavor is very mild and my child doesn't mind it at all. I mix this in with other liquid vitamins and he doesn't make any discernment between this one or the otherCon - My biggest problem with Child Life's is that it does not dissolve or mix into his drink at all. After he drinks the whole sippy there are still little globs everywhere on the inside of the cup. No amount of shaking seems to get it mixed in. I keep adding his water for the rest of the day so that eventually he gets it all.Garden Of Life:Pros - It is raw. Raw vitamins and probiotics are going to be better for you than non-raw, in my opinion.- The flavor is not offensive and my child does not mind it or discern it from the Child Life.- It dissolves and mixes in easily. The first glass of vitamin juice and it's gone.Con - The serving size is a little larger than Child Life and I think it might be a little more expensive per serving but I don't mind.Overall I prefer the Garden of Life and will be buy that one again once the Child Life runs out.

Our son has excema which in turn causes many other issues. We have tried diet changes, creams and anything you can think of with no results. We tried this probiotic since it contains specific bacteria strains that have been thought to help. It's been about a week, with no other changes in diet or routine and we for sure have seen results. His excema has been clearing up, and he has been able to keep down his food. Overall he seems more happy and healthy as well. I would highly reccoemnd to other parents to try this if they are feeling hopeless with their child's excema. Also on a side note I am a data analyst so when drawing conclusions I am usually cautious but this product has shown to be convincing.
