Infants can begin taking FlorastorBaby at two months to help maintain a balance of healthy intestinal bacteria, support a healthy immune system and aid in natural digestion, according to a product description from the company. Florastor probiotics are naturally resistant to common antibiotics and continue to work when babies have to take antibiotic doses.
