Which Probiotics are Right for Your Baby?

Every baby has different needs. Find the clinical support that matches your baby’s current concerns.

For Daily Colic, Regurgitation & Constipation

BioGaia Probiotic Drops

The original formula to soothe a fussy tummy and reduce daily crying. Suitable from birth.

For Gut Health, Immune Defence & Bone Development

BioGaia Drops with Vitamin D3

A 2-in-1 solution combining probiotics with 400 IU of Vitamin D3 to support overall development. Recommended for breastfed babies, who require additional Vitamin D from the first few days of life.

Why Choose BioGaia Baby Probiotics

Developed with decades of microbiome research, BioGaia works in harmony with your baby’s natural gut ecosystem:

Originally found in human breast milk

Unlike many probiotics derived from soil or plants, BioGaia uses a strain originally isolated from human breast milk — making it naturally compatible with the human gut from birth.

Proven to survive stomach acid

Most probiotics die in the stomach’s high-acid environment, but BioGaia’s L. reuteri DSM 17938 is one of the few probiotic strains proven to survive the journey and reach the gut alive.

Contains at least 100 million "heroes" per dose

Every 5 drops or a sachet delivers a guaranteed minimum of 100 million live bacteria to your baby's system.

Stable in the Malaysian climate

While refrigeration is recommended once opened, BioGaia probiotics remain stable at room temperature (up to 30°C) when kept away from direct heat and sunlight — making them practical for everyday Malaysian households.

How Probiotics Help Your Baby’s Gut

BioGaia baby probiotics deliver live, beneficial bacteria (L. reuteri DSM 17938) that reach your baby’s gut, stay active, and help restore a natural balance of good bacteria.
Once swallowed, these friendly bacteria work to calm the digestive system from within.
They’re available in easy-to-use drops for daily dosing or convenient powder that can be mixed into lukewarm milk, formula, or food.

What to Expect Over Time

As your baby’s gut becomes more settled and balanced, you may notice:

• Less crying from colic
• Fewer reflux episodes and spit-up
• Improved bowel movements
• Faster relief from gas and bloating
• Stronger natural defenses

FAQs

Prebiotics vs probiotics: What’s the difference?

Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that replenish the gut microbiome, while prebiotics are non-digestible fibre compounds that act as food to nourish these bacteria.
While many products combine the two to support overall gut health, L. reuteri DSM 17938 is different. It’s a naturally resilient, human-derived strain clinically studied to survive stomach acid and support the gut effectively without needing added prebiotics.
This means every dose delivers effective, targeted support on its own.

What is the difference between the drops and the powder?

Both BioGaia Probiotic Drops and BioGaia Protectis Powder contain the same amount of live bacteria (at least 100 million CFU of L. reuteri DSM 17938 per dose).
The drops are ideal for direct dosing or breastfed babies, while the powder comes in a convenient sachet, making it perfect for mixing into formula, water, or solid foods.

Do you offer any value sets or bundles?

Is BioGaia probiotic safe for newborns?

Yes. L. reuteri DSM 17938 is one of the most clinically studied probiotic strains in the world and is proven safe for infants from day one. Read more in our Medical Professionals’ Clinical Summary.

Is it okay to give a baby probiotics every day?

Yes, consistent daily use is necessary to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. Stopping the daily dose can cause probiotic levels to drop, as these beneficial bacteria require regular replenishment to stay effective.

How often do I give my baby BioGaia?

Give your baby one dose — 5 drops or 1 sachet — once daily. One dose consists of a minimum of 100 million live L. reuteri DSM 17938.

When is the best time to give baby probiotics?

You can give BioGaia at any time of the day, as long as it becomes a daily habit. Many parents find it easiest to give during the morning feed or as part of a bedtime routine — whatever fits naturally into your daily schedule.

How long does it take for baby probiotics to work?

While every baby is different, clinical studies show a significant reduction in crying and digestive distress in as little as one week. For long-term balance, the best results are seen after 21-28 days of daily use.

Are there any side effects?

Probiotics are generally well-tolerated. Some babies may pass more wind than usual for the first week or two — this is normal and a sign the good bacteria are getting to work. It usually settles quickly with continued daily use.

Do BioGaia probiotics need to be refrigerated?

Before opening, no refrigeration is needed. BioGaia's built-in LongevityGuard™ technology — a moisture-absorbing strip inside every bottle helps to protect the live bacteria from humidity, keeping them stable and potent at room temperature (below 30°C).
Once opened, refrigeration is recommended but not required. Storing in the fridge helps preserve potency through daily use — but LongevityGuard™ continues to protect the bacteria for up to three months after opening.
Simply keep away from direct heat and sunlight, and your baby gets a full, effective dose every time — from the first drop to the last.

How much is your shipping fee?

Great news! We offer free delivery on all orders across Malaysia, with no minimum purchase required.

Can I return the wrong orders?

Yes. If you accidentally order the wrong item, returns are accepted within 14 days if the item is unused, in its original packaging, and includes proof of purchase. Read more in our Shipping & Return Policy.
