BABY - CHILD

At DIJO, we are committed to supporting you and your baby towards intestinal well-being. This is why we have formulated a course of natural probiotics suitable for babies and children aged 0 to 18 years. Indeed, Probiotics for Children has an adapted concentration of bacteria with 3 strains of probiotics, namely Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium infantis for 10 billion CFU. These strains have been specifically chosen because they act in synergy to establish a balance within the intestinal flora in babies and children.

The intake of probiotics, either through infant food or supplementation, is recommended for babies and children, particularly in cases of digestive disorders. Indeed, a child's intestinal microbiota reaches maturity only between the ages of 3 and 5 years.

Far from being innate, the microbiota is built gradually in the first years of life. It is at the time of childbirth and the first hours of life that the baby's intestine, previously sterile, is colonized by bacteria. Indeed, birth is a crucial stage, since it is the moment when the baby leaves its mother's womb, a protected environment, to find itself facing an environment populated by bacteria. During a vaginal delivery, the baby's passage through the vaginal canal ensures the first bacterial contact with the mother's vaginal flora. Hence the importance of maintaining a healthy and balanced vaginal flora during pregnancy. Unfortunately, this phenomenon does not occur in the case of a cesarean delivery. This inheritance of good bacteria, with probiotic potential, is the foundation of the baby's future intestinal microbiota, which it builds during the first 3 years of its life. Indeed, a constant dialogue is established between the microbiota and the baby's immune system. The latter will then be able to learn to tolerate good bacteria and fight against bad ones.
