Why Probiotics?

Probiotics support digestion, vitamin absorption, and the development of a healthy immune system. While some probiotics are found in food, the fastest and most effective way to support your baby’s gut health is with a high-quality probiotic supplement.

Not all probiotics are the same—different strains target different symptoms. CalmCo Probiotic contains five clinically studied strains specifically chosen to help with colic and digestive issues:

P.pentosaceus KABP™ -041

P.pentosaceus has been shown to support healthier microflora balance, which correlates to decreased crying time in colicky babies. It also supports a calm gut.

B.longum KABP-042

B.longum, in combination with the other four strains of CalmCo Probiotic, has been shown to improve immune health in infants and children.

L.plantarum KABP-051

L.planatrum enhances the production of beneficial bacterial strains in the gut which promotes a healthy GI tract.

L.brevis KABP-052

L.brevis is a probiotic bacterium that has been shown to boost oral hygiene and restore the balance oral microflora.

P.acidilactici KABP-053

P.acidilactici has been shown to support a variety of digestive health outcomes and promotes a healthy gut balance.

Vitamin D

Babies younger than 12 months old need 400 IU of vitamin D each day. Vitamin D is essential for babies to absorb calcium and phosphorus which help to build strong bones and prevent against rickets.

Many parents are confused by the term CFU (colony-forming units), which measures the number of live and active bacteria in a probiotic. CalmCo Probiotic delivers 1.5 billion CFU per serving, ensuring your baby gets the highest-quality daily digestive support.

Understanding Infant Gas

All babies experience gas, but some struggle more to pass it. Signs of gas-related discomfort include a bloated or firm belly, frequent burping, spit-ups, hiccups, excessive flatulence, and fussiness.

Prevention & Soothing Techniques

  • Overstimulation can contribute to gassiness and irritability. Keeping visitors and outings to a minimum in the first few weeks, as well as ensuring your baby gets enough uninterrupted sleep, can help.

  • If you suspect hyper-lactation (oversupply of milk), a lactation specialist can provide guidance.

  • Eliminating dairy, soy, or peanuts from a breastfeeding mother’s diet for two weeks may also help determine if food sensitivities are a factor.

  • Burping thoroughly after feedings can reduce swallowed air, though it won’t eliminate gas produced during digestion.

  • Gentle baby massage and light tummy pressure may help relieve discomfort.

  • Holding your baby in the football hold—lying face down along your forearm with their chin resting in your hand—can also provide soothing relief.

If these techniques aren’t enough, consult your pediatrician before trying any gas-relief treatments. A multi-level approach is often most effective, and probiotics can be a great addition to your baby’s digestive care routine.

Remember, newborns are still adapting to the world. As they grow, their digestive systems mature, and gas-related discomfort naturally improves.
