During the introductory period, some toddlers and kids may experience small amounts of gas or bloating. We recommend starting with half a packet and gradually reaching the recommended amount over several days.

"We use Begin Growing Up Prebiotics daily. My son reminds me to put the “poop” vitamin into his orange juice bottle every morning. He says his poop “slips out” better. He is prone to constipation so this is good news!"

“I tried half dose today and my son who has digestive issues, went twice without meds!"

"My one year old daughter was having a lot of trouble pooping. With Begin, she now goes multiple times a day with no issues! It really does work like a charm...we’re calling it her “tummy magic!"
Deon K.
Dad to 1 yr. old
"My kids are 3 and 1 and we give this to them in the morning to regulate their tummies before afternoon naps. We used a different brand before but this one is working so well and is tasteless!"
Mary Grace M.
Mom to 1yr. and 3yr. old
"Just have to say after using for a few weeks, I won't go a day without giving this to her! If we skip a day I know because she doesn't have her BM at her usual time. It is such a relief as a mom of two littles to know when things are happening and that her gut is healthy & happy!"
Clare H.
Mom to 3yr. old
"My toddler has been potty trained for over a year but we were still finding her hiding in the corner to pass uncomfortable bowel movements. Since beginning Begin's Prebiotic, we haven't found her hiding but instead going on the potty with softer stools. We mix it in her milk every morning and she can't seem to taste the difference. We love it!"
Kristen M.
Mom to 1yr. and 3yr. old
"My daughter is pretty independent in the bathroom. However, she doesn't spend nearly as much time there as she has in the past. She hasn't been constipated since starting Growing Up Prebiotics which was not the case prior to this prebiotic. She loves putting it in her water every morning and her stomach which has been great! She is going like clockwork!"
Jen K.
Mom to 5 yr. old
"My son was pretty regular to start, but I have loved knowing when he will go 💩(it's been like an hour after breakfast and his "belly milk"). Super helpful as he was recently potty trained!"

HMO,
a five star ingredient
For immune-nourishing support
Human milk is truly magnificent. We know it to be a powerful source of essential nutrients that sustain a baby’s early life.
Curiously the third most abundant component of human milk is a group of complex carbohydrates known as Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs). HMOs nourish the infant’s healthy intestinal bacteria.
In other words, HMOs feed the ‘friendly’ gut bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, where we know 70% of the immune system is located!
2’-FL HMO is a groundbreaking step toward nourishing good gut microbes that is now available beyond the breastfeeding years.
Growing Up Prebiotics is the first prebiotic supplement for toddlers and kids ages 1+ developed with Prebilac® 2’-FL HMO for immune-nourishing support.
Prebilac® 2’-FL HMO is supported by findings in clinical intervention studies in infants with demonstrated benefits that support digestive health, gut comfort and softer stools.
Biome’s first footsteps
Early life events shape the developing gut microbiome
Baby’s birth
Studies show that birth methods contribute to different gut microbiomes. Babies born vaginally shared their mom’s gut microbiome more than those delivered by C-section.
33%
about one third of babies
are born via c-section
Early Feeding
After birth, the leading determinant of infant gut microbial colonization is breastfeeding. Studies show that breastfeeding is associated with higher levels of Bifidobacterium.
53%
mom’s no longer exclusively breastfeeding by 3 months
Antibiotics
Antibiotics can be life saving! While they can kill the bad bacteria, they can also damage the good gut bacteria, which can lead to an imbalance in the gut called dysbiosis.
50%
of toddlers are exposed to antibiotics before age 3
Picky eater
The developing gut microbiome thrives on healthful nutrition. Picky eaters can impact their gut microbiome health by not eating the fiber needed to feed the good gut bugs.
