Beneficial bacteria is important for people of all ages, including infants. Natren produces a probiotic product designed specifically for infants. Life Start is made with Bifidobacterium infantis - the beneficial bacteria which is most prominent in infants.
Babies born vaginally to healthy mothers receive their initial supply of beneficial bacteria on their passage through the birth canal. It is important for infants to continue getting beneficial bacteria to help them develop healthy bodies
Using Life Start stimulates better weight gain through nitrogen retention, which is especially important for formula-fed infants. This bacteria encourages the formation of antibodies against undesirable bacteria and viruses. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should also take Life Start along with their regular regimen of Healthy Trinity in order to give their baby the best start possible. Mothers on a course of antibiotics who are also breast-feeding their babies should give them Life Start when beginning their antibiotic course. It is especially important to give Life Start to babies delivered in hospital rooms or especially by cesarean section, since they don't have the advantage of getting the beneficial bacteria from their mothers as they pass trhough the birth canal. Even breast-fed babies need the advantage Life Start can offer to encourage the optimal health of the baby.
Note
Lactobacillus acidophilus supplementation is not recommended for infants without the advice of a physician, as it is not the prominent beneficial microorganism in healthy, breast-fed infants. After weaning, acidophilus increases and Bifidobacteria colonize and become prominent in the large intestine. Acidophilus is sometimes recommended for infants during short periods of acute infection. Life Start, a milk-based probiotic for infants, should be carefully evaluated: With an increase in casein allergies in infants, please check babies for true milk allergies. You may use Bifido Factor Dairy-free instead.
