Ah, constipation – the uninvited guest that loves to crash the party in your child’s tummy. 

It sneaks in, making everyone a bit uncomfortable, and leaves you wondering what went wrong. 

Fear not, fellow parents! Understanding and tackling constipation can be easier and even a bit fun.

Let’s dive into the world of guts, probiotics and those tricky tummy troubles.

We’ll explore how to keep things moving smoothly, so your little one can go back to being their happy, bouncy self in no time. 

Ready to wave goodbye to those grumpy guts?

Let’s get started!

Why Do Kids Get Constipated?

First things first mummies, let’s understand why constipation happens. 

Constipation happens due to a lack of fibre, not enough fluids, or even just a change in routine. 

Kids are especially prone to it when they’re learning to use the potty or trying new foods. 

But don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to get things back on track!

Tips to Keep Things Moving For Better Digestion

  1. Fibre Rich Foods: Fill their plates with fruits, veggies and whole grains. These foods are natural movers!
  2. Stay Hydrated: Encourage your child to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  3. Probiotics to the Rescue: Probiotics are friendly bacteria that live in the gut. They help with digestion and can ease constipation.
  4. Active Play: Physical activity stimulates digestion. So, let them run, jump, and play to their heart’s content!
  5. Routine: Establish a regular bathroom routine.

If I Can Do All The Above, Why Probiotics?

Well mummies, the gut is like a busy factory.

This includes the stomach, intestines and colon.

This factory digests food, absorbs nutrients, and gets rid of waste.

The gut microbiome affects the health of your entire body.

To keep this factory running smoothly, our body will need probiotics every day.

Think of them as little helpers.

They move through your intestines, help with digestion, protect your gut from bad germs, aid in nutrient absorption, and provide essential vitamins.

As these helpers leave, you need to keep bringing in more, making it crucial to pick the right probiotics.

So, load up on probiotics to keep your gut happy and healthy!

Everything Mummies Need to Know About BB-12®

Clinical studies have shown that BB-12® can help kids pass stools more easily, reduce respiratory infections, decrease the duration of crying in infants, and lessen tummy troubles in children.

It’s a probiotic strain that supports overall health and wellbeing, especially in children during their formative years.

BB-12® Probiotics are amazing!

They handle stomach acid well and stay strong through the digestive system.

Not all probiotics can do that!

They only produce gentle lactic acid, which is easy on little ones.

Additionally, BB-12® Probiotics can still be active even in hot temperatures of no more than 70 degrees.

Plus, BB-12® is consistent, providing the same benefits every time.

That’s why Farm Fresh Grow® milk with BB-12® is a great choice for your child’s health.

It’s backed by science and loved by parents everywhere.

That is why, after trying many toddler milks, I’m thrilled my 5-year-old finally found ‘his growing up’ milk.
