? Best Probiotics for Baby Eczema – What Worked for Us! ✨ ? Want my FREE guide: Heal Your Baby’s Gut and Transform Your Family’s Health? ? Comment “PRIMAL KITCHEN” and I’ll send it to you! ? Want a full breakdown on using probiotics for babies & toddlers + how long to supplement? ? Comment “BLOG” and I’ll send you my full guide! ? Want the link to Smidge Infant Probiotic? ? Comment “SMIDGE” and I’ll send it to you! If your baby is struggling with eczema, food sensitivities, or dry, irritated skin, their gut health could be the missing piece. Eczema isn’t just a skin issue—it’s often a gut imbalance, where inflammation and missing beneficial bacteria lead to immune dysfunction and skin flare-ups. ? Why Are Babies Affected by Eczema? ✔️ Imbalanced Gut Microbiome – Babies born via C-section, exposed to antibiotics, or formula-fed often lack key bacteria that protect against inflammation. ✔️ Leaky Gut & Food Sensitivities – A weakened gut lining allows proteins (like dairy & gluten) to trigger immune reactions that show up as eczema. ✔️ Lack of Bifidobacteria – Bifidobacteria are critical for gut balance, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the immune system—but many babies today are missing these strains! ✨ What Helped My Daughter? Smidge Infant Probiotic! She was missing bifidobacteria, and this probiotic helped restore balance! Smidge Infantis is designed for babies with eczema, colic, and food sensitivities, providing: ✔️ B. infantis, B. breve, B. bifidum – Found in breastfed babies, these strains support gut integrity & reduce inflammation. ✔️ No fillers, additives, or common allergens – Safe for sensitive little bellies. ✔️ Supports digestion & skin healing – By sealing the gut lining and reducing inflammatory responses. ? How to Know What YOUR Baby Needs? Tiny Health Gut Testing! Instead of guessing which probiotic to use, Tiny Health tests your baby’s gut microbiome, revealing missing strains & imbalances so you can heal from the root! ?

? Let’s Make Chicken Meat Stock for Your Baby! ?✨ Meat stock is one of the most nourishing, gut-healing foods you can give your little one! Unlike bone broth, which is cooked for long periods and can be harder to digest, meat stock is gentle on tiny tummies, making it perfect for babies starting solids. ? Why Meat Stock is a GAPS Superfood ✔ Heals the Gut Lining – Rich in gelatin & amino acids to repair digestion ✔ Supports Immunity – Provides minerals & collagen for a strong immune system ✔ Easy to Digest – Gentle on sensitive stomachs, perfect for babies with reflux or eczema ✔ Nutrient-Dense – Packed with minerals like calcium, magnesium & potassium ? How to Make It I get all of my pasture-raised meat from @grassrootscoop to ensure quality! Here’s the simple process: ? Ingredients: ✔ 1.5 lbs chicken drumsticks (rich in gelatin & mild flavor) ✔ 2.7 lbs chicken necks (loaded with connective tissue) ✔ 1.12 lbs chicken feet (high in collagen for gut healing) ✔ 3 quarts filtered water ✔ A pinch of Baja Gold Mineral Sea Salt (adds essential trace minerals) ? Instructions: 1️⃣ Add all ingredients to a pot & bring to a boil, uncovered. 2️⃣ After 15 minutes, skim off the brown foam (this removes impurities & excess proteins that can be harder to digest). 3️⃣ Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover, & cook for 3 hours. 4️⃣ Strain through cheesecloth into glass jars – I love using small baby food jars for my daughter’s portions! ? How to Use It ? Serve warm in a sippy cup for hydration & gut healing ? Mix into purees, mashed veggies, or soft foods ? Use as a base for nutrient-dense baby soups ✨ Want to learn more about the health benefits of meat stock & how to use it for your little one? ?

? A Mom’s Guide to Probiotics for Infants & Toddlers: What You NEED to Know! ✨ Probiotics are everywhere—infant drops, toddler powders, fermented foods, and even microbiome testing kits like Tiny Health. But does every baby need them? Are popular brands like Mommy’s Bliss, Culturelle, Smidge, and Klaire Labs worth it? Let’s break it all down so you can make the best choice for your little one! ? Why Give Probiotics to Babies & Toddlers? A balanced gut supports: ✔ Digestion – Helps break down food & reduce colic/reflux ✔ Immunity – 70% of the immune system lives in the gut ✔ Skin & Allergy Support – Reduces eczema & inflammation ✔ Stool Regulation – Prevents constipation & diarrhea ✔ Post-Antibiotic Recovery – Restores lost good bacteria But not all probiotics work the same, and unnecessary supplementation can cause imbalances! ? Does Every Baby Need Probiotics? Not necessarily! Some kids already have a balanced microbiome, and adding random probiotics can disrupt gut diversity. This is why microbiome testing (like Tiny Health) is a game-changer! Instead of guessing, you can see exactly what strains your child needs (or doesn’t need). ? Breaking Down Popular Infant Probiotics 1️⃣ Mommy’s Bliss – Contains L. rhamnosus GG for colic & digestion, but only one strain. 2️⃣ Culturelle Baby – L. rhamnosus & B. lactis for immunity & digestion, but limited diversity. 3️⃣ BioGaia Protectis – L. reuteri for colic relief, but not a complete gut support probiotic. 4️⃣ Klaire Labs Infant Ther-Biotic – Multi-strain, no fillers, great for gut healing. 5️⃣ Smidge Infant Probiotic – Perfect for babies with gut imbalances (C-section, antibiotics, or eczema). ? Fermented Foods vs. Probiotic Supplements Probiotic supplements contain targeted strains, while fermented foods provide natural diversity & enzymes! Best Ferments for Kids: ? Yogurt & Kefir – Rich in Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium ? Sauerkraut & Kimchi – Gut-supporting Lactobacillus strains ? Water Kefir – Gentle hydration with beneficial yeast & bacteria ✨ COMMENT “PROBIOTICS” and I’ll send you my blog with a more in-depth breakdown of brands, microbiome testing, and fermented foods for gut health! ✨
