Can BioGaia be given to newborns with colic, and how to choose the right form?
Here are useful and up-to-date recommendations:
Is BioGaia suitable for newborns?
BioGaia Protectis drops are approved for use from birth, as stated in the official product instructions.
They are commonly recommended for colic, gas, and gut microbiota imbalance.
It is essential to follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer or a pediatrician.
How to choose the form: drops or tablets
Drops are the only suitable form for newborns. They are easy to dose, safe, and can be conveniently given with feeding.
BioGaia tablets are intended for older children, as they require the ability to chew or dissolve the tablet, which newborns cannot do.
Therefore, for babies under one year of age, the correct choice is always Protectis drops.
How to give drops to an infant correctly
The drops can be given on a spoon, on a pacifier, or mixed with a small amount of milk (not hot).
Shake the bottle before use and avoid letting the dropper touch the baby’s mouth.
If you were sold an unsuitable form or were not informed about age restrictions, be sure to share your experience on Xolvie to protect yourself and other parents.
