When to stop probiotics for babies?

Parenting FAQs

As probiotics help support a healthy gut flora, continued use can be beneficial. The decision to stop probiotics for babies can vary depending on the individual baby's needs and the specific probiotic being used. In general, probiotics may be discontinued once the specific condition or issue for which they were recommended has resolved or improved. If you are unsure, follow the guidance of a healthcare professional who can assess your baby’s progress and determine the appropriate time to discontinue probiotic supplementation.
