If “Happy wife equals happy life” then a healthy baby equals a happy Mama! Charlie has been growing up so fast and I love watching him learn to smile and coo. At just 3 months though, if he isn’t happy and playing, it always points back to his little tummy. That makes his Mama, me, unhappy.
Sometimes I feel so helpless when his tummy is upset and we didn’t change anything about our routine. He suffers from gas, occasional diarrhea and constantly spits up. It’s so sad when he cries from the pain his stomach is causing him.
After researching more information about his troubles, I learned that babies are born with their own “microbiome” – a collection of bacteria that they inherit at birth. That bacteria is important because it determines their digestive and immune health for many years to come.
That’s when I learned that Charlie needs probiotics to help alleviate his tummy troubles plus provide the immune support he needs while growing. I can honestly say that it’s the answer to my frustrations about his health issues.
So I turned to UpSpring Probiotic + Colostrum Powder
UpSpring was created by Moms who care and want the same things as me: “More fun, Less worry”. Since 2005, UpSpring has made all-natural products based on true science that solves real problems.
UpSpring Probiotic + Colostrum Powder alleviates the upset from Charlie’s diarrhea, gas and constipation cycle. It also provides the immune support he needs to stay healthy. UpSpring contains 6 probiotic strains plus prebiotics (which help beneficial bacteria flourish) and has over 5 billion active cultures. The all-important, colostrum, acts as a prebiotic too by providing a complete range of antibodies for even more immune support.
I feel relieved knowing that I can tackle my child’s digestive issues plus help prevent future illness, all with one product.
The single serve packets are flavorless and easily allow me to add it to one of his daily bottles. He doesn’t even notice the powder mixed in. Since UpSpring makes all-natural products, these Moms made sure that it doesn’t include GMO’s, gluten, sugar or hormones.
A happy baby means more play time…
Since I’ve broke the cycle of upset tummy troubles, Charlie and I can keep doing what we love- playing! He enjoys playing with me and I enjoy less fussiness. Nobody likes it when their baby isn’t feeling 100%.
I have heard a lot of buzz about probiotics and they sound like something everyone should be taking. I think starting them young is the best way to go.
Aw… poor little baby! You are totally right about happy baby = happy mama! This looks like a great solution to help with that unwanted gas and to make your baby feel more balanced.
I started using a probiotic when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I’m now in remission and feel it has really helped. Best of luck with your precious little!
I have never heard of this powder for babies before. So glad it has helped your little one with his tummy issues.
This is interesting. I hadn’t thought of probiotics for little ones. Thank you for sharing this information.
I wish I they would’ve had this 9 years ago – my oldest was very coliky due to gas and I think this may have helped him.
Colic and digestive problems are some of the most difficult issues for newborns and their mothers to deal with. It is so great that you have found a great remedy to help out.
Awe, Charlie is adorable! I miss my girls being that little. Ahh, but I don’t miss all the complications when it comes to feeding! What a great product. It would have really come in handy with my youngest!
What a beautiful baby!!!!!! I’ve never heard of this but I know a few people with new babies that would appreciate this information. Looks important
Upspring sounds brilliant, especially as it has macrobiotics and prevents against nasties. Perfect for maintaining the immune system and keeping children fit and healthy x x
Awww, he is adorable! I’m currently expecting my third, so I’ll definitely have to keep this product in mind.
aww what a cutie, definitely going to look into these I completely agree a strong digestive and immune system are so important for development!
I agree that digestive health matters. Thanks or the helpful tips!
I have been thinking about introducing a probiotic to my son and my daughter. This seems like a great product, I will have to look more into it 🙂
It’s really tough when we see our kids suffering even from the slightest pain or discomfort. I’m glad you found the solution to your son’s digestion problems. Probiotics does a lot of wonders for our body!
I wish they had this stuff when I had my babies. They all had horrible gas and I think this would have been a huge help. Plus I am all about helping the immune system whenever you can.
Aww your little one is a cutie-pie. Yes I completely agree that digestive health really does matter – a lot. xx
Wow this sounds like a break through for new parents and babies! I wish they had it when I was a new mom, as both of my kids had digestive troubles
That is awesome! We only started giving probiotics to my daughter when she started withholding her poop to keep her regular. And I think so far it has been really helpful.

I wish I had known of this when my son was younger. Seems like a great product for newborn and infants.
I think a lot of people, especially women, don’t realize the importance of cultures in their diet. This is an important subject and Upspring is a huge help to digestive help.
My eight year old daughter has had digestive challenges since she was a baby. We used a probiotic since she was very small and still have challenges. It’s so hard when they have tummy issues as babies – and it’s hard for you because you have full control of what they are consuming.
My niece struggled with tummy troubles as a baby. It was so sad to see her crying and having trouble sleeping laying down. Luckily she doesn’t have tummy issues now, but this probiotic would have been helpful back then.
We need to add some probiotics to my son’s milk to help his tummy handle things. He seems to have some digestive issues.
