At what age is it appropriate to start giving probiotics to children?

Probiotic supplements can be administered starting from the newborn period, with the recommendation or advice from your doctor. Probiotics may be considered for a baby with infant colic, a child with acute gastroenteritis, or a child experiencing diarrhea during antibiotic treatment. The infant gut is highly receptive to beneficial bacteria in the early stages of life, making this period ideal for establishing a diverse and balanced microbial community which in turn can support a stronger immune system.
