Lactobacillus acidophilus
Bifidobacterium infantis
Lactobacillus casei
Lactose 26.5mg
Recommended Intake: Bottle Fed Babies: Mix apx 1/16 tsp into baby bottle (half of 1/8 tsp) once or twice a day. Breast Fed Babies: Press clean finger into powder and have baby suckle finger. Or use a tiny plastic spoon (i.e. used at the ice cream/gelato store for flavor tasting).
These fit perfectly into the Neonate bottle and then into their tiny mouth,
and easily smears onto their tongue. Then follow it with a little
breast milk, or let them mash it around their mouth with saliva. They may not even
notice they have that tiny bit of powder in their mouth (it tastes slightly sweet).
Approximately 33 mg (1 billion viable cells) will naturally adhere to the end of your finger (rough dosage idea). Repeat three times daily.
Storage: Keep refrigerated or in freezer when possible, yet survives at room temperature for up to 6 months.
Contra-indications: None known if recommended intake is followed.
Every newborn child should be required to take HLC Neonate. The scientific research is impressive. Those infants taking the probiotic have stronger immune systems, and greatly lowered risk of asthma, allergies, and skin conditions. On ongoing 5 year trial by Pharmax LLC shows that newborns and infants given these HLC probiotics do significantly better than the control group in allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal ailments, and immune system health.

There is now significant recognition about the critical importance of the developing healthy bacterial flora in the neonate and infant as it can largely determine future health concerns.
From having a sterile G.I. tract at birth, the neonate acquires microbial flora from the first day of life, and this flora is then responsible for a major part of the development of the entire infant immune system. It is now acknowledged that imbalances in the flora of the neonate may significantly increase the risk of childhood allergy and susceptibility to infectious disease. Consequently, it is now seen as imperative that the infant has a competent composition of microflora from the first day of life and that this can be achieved by supplementation with probiotic organisms daily from birth.
HLC Neonate has been developed specifically for the child up to 12 months of age. It contains the HLC strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus plus Bifidobacterium infantis, which, as its name suggests, is the strain of Bifidobacterium most suited to the newborn infant. L. acidopilus will target and stimulate the mucosal immune system in the upper part of the G.I. tract and the B. infantis will stimulate the immune system and become established in the lower gut.
HLC Neonate is in a very concentrated form so that only 100mg is required to give a full dosage of 2 billion HLC organisms. The only carrier is lactose, which is milk sugar and is assimilable by all infants. The product can be administered to the infant in formula milk, expressed breast milk, or by simply allowing the child to suckle powder from a finger or knuckle that has been dipped into the product.

I saw an immediate improvement in my son's bowel movements. I agree though that it's difficult to know if you are administering the correct dosage.
I have been using these products for 2 years

After my first son's food allergies I decided to give probiotics to my second since it can't do harm and hopefully will prevent problems and so far so good - he has very little gas even though he is 7 weeks old.
Great Product!!

My son was born with severe allergic colitis and our pediatric gastroenterologist from Boston Children's Hospital recommended we try this product to assist with gas pain, irregular stools, and reflux. I believe it has helped him and would recommend it to others with infants suffering from this disorder. Difficult to know if he is receiving appropriate dose, however.
Excellent product!!!

There is no question that this product is a top notch product. However, as a breastfeeding mother of twins it was very difficult to administer. With no bottle to put it in I was stuck trying to put some on the end of my finger and give to the babies. I ended up waiting until they began solid foods to give it to them regularly.
Great for my infant son
