Upspring Probiotic + Colostrum, Probiotic Supplement for Babies, Toddlers + Kids, 30 Packets Helps reduce occasional digestive upset including gas, diarrhea, and constipation* Includes 6 probiotic strains (including Lactobacillus rhamnosus) as well as bovine derived colostrum 5 billion active CFUs per serving For babies, toddlers, and kids Flavorless probiotic powder for baby and child - Mix with cool (or room temperature) liquids or foods 30 single-serving packets Gluten free, sugar free, free of synthetic hormones, and non-GMO Colostrum is Not Just for Newborns Give your child the benefits of colostrum at any age. Colostrum helps support the body's immune system. Upspring uses the highest quality bovine derived colostrum. Colostrum from bovine sources has been traditionally used in India for millennia. Individuals at any stage of life can benefit from colostrum’s constituents. When you give your child colostrum, you're giving them something you can feel good about. Bacteria Can Be Your Child's Best Friend We’re on the cusp of a health revolution. For generations, we’ve been trying to figure out how best to stay healthy. Now we know that probiotics (the good bacteria) can help. And Upspring’s Probiotic + Colostrum can help assist in keeping the right bacteria where you want it.* We have 10x more bacteria in our bodies than cells, most of it in the gut, and most of it friendly. (Who knew?) Gut bacteria are involved in digestion, immune function, cognitive function, mood, cell signaling, and more.* (Think of them as worker bees, only a lot smaller.) Immune function is of particular interest, since 70-80% of the body’s immune system resides in the gut, and interacts constantly with gut bacteria. How Does It Work? For infants 0 to 4 months, use a half packet per day. For infants >4 months to 12 years, use 1 full packet daily. Mix the flavorless powder with your little one’s favorite cool or room temperature food or drink. Be sure to avoid adding to hot food or drinks (heat is not friendly to the live probiotic bacteria)!

I started using UpSpring probiotic and colostrum formula Digestive and immune support about a week ago. There are few ingredients that are easy to understand. There are probiotics, colostrum, and FOS (chicory root). The product does contain sunfiber from guar gum, silica and of course this product contains milk. It claims to help reduce occasional digestive upset and support immune system. There is nothing artificial, it is gluten free, and is non-GMO. UpSpring probiotic + Colostrum also helps reduce occasional gas, diarrhea, constipation and other digestive symtoms. It also has Prebiotic fiber, which supports beneficial bacteria; prebiotics help absorb probiotics in the body. This upspring product is very easy to mix, digest, and is unflavored. UpSpring probiotic+colostrum does what it says. It definitely is easy on the digestive system and actually helps relieve symptoms of gas and diarrhea and the like. My daughter has only slept through the night once or twice in her life until now. I have used this upspring probiotic colostrum formula everyday consistently for the passed week and she has been sleeping through the night, which I know is definitely from this product. I am extremely thankful for this product because my baby is healthy and now i can actually sleep through the night. Thank you, "WeeSpring parent panel" for sending my this product to try. This is definitely one i want to continue using and recommend to everyone.
I am so happy that our pediatrician recommended this product to us. My daughter was a NICU baby due to 15 surgeries I had during the pregnancy. Due to all of that, my daughter has an extremely sensitive stomach, so we purchased the colostrum/probiotic. We give it to her once a day, now she has less gas and she spits up a lot less! I am so glad they came out with this product! Thank you UpSpring :)
I used this with my 10 month old baby who has GERD. We have been weaning her off of her reflux medication and I wanted something to support her gut health and improve her digestion. This probiotic has seemed to work well for regulating her bowel movements so I am hopeful that it is also helping to restore her overall gut health. It is super easy to use as you just tear open a packet and dump it into baby's drink. I most often mix it with apple juice. The only thing I don't like about it, is that when you mix it into the juice, it seems to "foam" and creates an odd looking texture that makes it look moldy or something. I haven't had any issues with Baby not drinking it though. I received this product for free to try in exchange for my honest review through the weeSpring Parent Panel. All opinions are 100% my own.
My 17-month old daughter is constantly coming down with bugs from daycare, so I'm always looking for something that can boost her immune system. These supplements are very easy to add to her milk or other cold beverages each morning (which is why they are probably better for toddlers than infants drinking warm milk) and she has no issue drinking them, so they must not alter the taste (she can be picky!). I have not yet seen any discernible effect from there use (after about a week or so), but I've also seen no negative side effects either. I'm hoping it will help with her developing immunity, so I will continue to use it. All in all, I'm glad I received this supplement as a gift from a WeeSpring parent panel.
I have never used a probiotic before and had looked about getting one for my baby as I've seen it become more popular in use especially in baby products to give them the best start in life. I like how they come in nice individual packets. They are super easy to use and involve no measuring which is always a pain. They are unflavored which is great because you can add it to any product. It's super unique as it has colostrum. I use it in cold baby food in mix it thoroughly. It looks like white powder, but when you mix it up it meshes pretty well you can kind of see the specks but it doesn't seem to compromise the baby food as it does really have no flavor to it and of course my baby can't tell the difference. I keep the box in the refrigerator as it says it's recommended but not required. I got a chance to try this supplement as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.
My daughter has always had a sensitive stomach. Until recently she took acid reflux medication several times per day. About 10 days ago I started giving this to her and really didn't notice much of a difference. However she has been on antibiotic for last five days and we have seen no residual issues from the antibiotic as we normally would (diaper rash, gas, increased fussiness). Although not overly apparent, it obviously has helped my daughter and has kept her regulated we will continue to use it! I received this supplement as a gift from the weeSpring Parent Panel.
I had the opportunity to try out this product through the WeeSpring Parent Panel. I used probiotics when my first child was a baby, but hadn't thought to start them with my second. This came at the perfect time; I was just starting an antibiotic and since I am breastfeeding the doctor recommended a probiotic for baby and me. I found the packaging easy to use. Just tear it open at the pre-made slit; no measuring necessary and much less chance of spilling it. I have been mixing it with yogurt or a puree and it dissolves pretty well. My daughter doesn't seem to notice (or mind) the taste. And best of all, I think it has made her BMs much more regular.
My son is 13 months and has been eating finger foods since six months old, maybe a bit sooner. Sometimes he has too much of his favorites like corn or fruit purees which give him very frequent stinky loose stools. I breastfeed and supplement with formula, so it was easy to add this to his morning bottle to be sure he drank it all. After less than two weeks on this supplement, his stools are consistently firm with only a few loose here and there, again when he has corn. I wish I had used this probiotic from his birth as studies have shown it could have helped soothe his reflux and colicy issues. I will buy this as a gift for any new mom friends! Minus one star for not being in a resealable scoop sort of container so I could adjust the amount for his age/weight. I also used it in my Boston Terrier's food as he has always had frequent loose stools and it firmed him up in days. I know that's off label but pretty sure this probiotic benefits any gut. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this supplement!
I got a chance to try this as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, but all opinions are my own! I think probiotics are important for gut health for everyone, including babies. There are many brands to choose from, but we are so far overall pleased with the UpSpring Probiotic + Colostrum powder for our 19mo. I love that this doesn't contain any artificial or GMO ingredients. It also doesn't contain oil, so we don't have to mess with syringes (messy and, overall, a huge pain). The powder dissolves very easily in my son's water. We're still breastfeeding at the moment so he currently gets the benefits of breastmilk, but I like that this supplement contains colostrum, and even if it's bovine sourced, the extra antibodies can't hurt in further supporting my son's immune system. I am less pleased with the packaging. There's a slit to tear the package open, but it isn't actually super easy to open. I've spilled the powder several times tearing open the package. I'd recommend using scissors. There is also an odor to the powder that my son can smell when I add it to his water. It made him wary of drinking the water for a couple days and we had to throw out the probiotic water. However, after one or two times, he got past the smell and now drinks the water without any hesitation. The directions also state to keep the probiotic mixture (food or liquid) cold, but I'm unclear as to how long I can keep his probiotic water out of the fridge before the probiotics lose their effectiveness. I try to mix it in water that fills only 1/4 of my son's sippy cup, but sometimes he takes awhile to drink it and I don't know if it has lost its effectiveness by then. My son's digestion has always been a bit inconsistent, so it's hard to tell whether this really helps or not. I would still give this to him though, just to cover our bases, as it doesn't seem to make things worse. Overall, we are pleased with this product and I would continue using it, especially after my son takes antibiotics.
I got a chance to try this supplement as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. I was able to try the product out for about a week but ended up not being able to continue due to a gassy uncomfortable baby. It came in single serve packets that were hard to rip open so ended up using scissors half the time. I put 1 serving in formula every morning. It dissolved very easily and my daughter didnt notice any difference which is good considering shes very picky. I noticed after 5 days she got very gassy and started having very hard to pass stools. Might try later on when shes a bit older.
