Optibac Probiotics Baby Drops

A newborn's gut is a blank slate. In the first weeks and months of life, the microbiome develops rapidly — and the bacteria established early have lasting effects on digestion, immunity, and overall health.

Optibac Probiotics Baby Drops gives you a clinically researched, vegan liquid probiotic specifically designed for that critical window, from birth onward.

The format matters here. Sachets and capsules don't work for newborns. Baby Drops is a simple 0.3ml daily serving — eight drops — delivered via a precision dropper directly into the mouth, on a spoon, onto the nipple, or mixed into formula or breast milk. The single strain inside, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V®, is one of the most researched infant probiotic strains in the world, tested in over 4,000 formula- and breastfed newborns across gold-standard clinical trials and used in over 140 neonatal care units globally.

Built for the Infant Microbiome – B. breve M-16V® is specifically researched in newborns and young babies, not adapted from adult probiotic research. It has been shown to survive stomach acid and reach the infant gut alive, where it increases natural levels of Bifidobacteria — the dominant beneficial bacteria in a healthy baby's gut.

Clinically Trialled at Scale – This strain has been studied in thousands of infants across published peer-reviewed trials, including research in premature and very low birthweight newborns. It's not a generalist formula. It's the strain used in hospital neonatal care units around the world.

As Simple as It Gets – Eight drops once a day. Flavorless, sugar-free, no artificial colors or preservatives. Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, yeast-free. Works for breastfed and bottle-fed babies equally. The dropper makes dosing precise and mess-free, even with a newborn.

These bacteria are the dominant beneficial organisms in a healthy baby's gut and are critical for early digestive and immune development. The oil-based formula uses plant-sourced medium chain triglyceride oil as a carrier — no water, which means better bacterial stability. Shake before use, refrigerate if giving drops directly into the mouth, and store below 25°C otherwise. One bottle covers 30 daily servings.

How to Use Optibac Probiotics Baby Drops

Daily Dose: Give 0.3ml (8 drops as indicated on the dropper) once daily with a feed.

Administration Options: Drops can be given directly into the mouth, placed on a spoon, added to formula or expressed breast milk, applied to a clean finger or the nipple one drop at a time.

Pro Tip: Shake the bottle well before each use — separation in the oil is natural and doesn't affect potency. If giving drops directly into the mouth, refrigerate the bottle for best practice. Do not wash the dropper between uses.
