Did you know that the first 1,000 days from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday offer a unique window of opportunity to build long-term health? The first three months of life are particularly important: a time when disturbances to the developing gut microbiota have the greatest impact on immune system development, and therefore future health.
Good health starts in the gut, and since 80% of your immune defense is located there, it’s important to maintain a well-functioning immune system. Your gut relies on having enough good bacteria in the body and a balanced microbiota, as the good bacteria in your body help prepare your immune system to combat unwelcome invaders like bad bacteria and toxins.
Leading UK nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, who specialises in pre- and post-natal nutrition, has partnered with Colief® to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining your baby’s natural gut flora. "Supporting the natural development of our baby’s gut microbiome is so important for their overall health and immune system. Research now suggests that the first few months of a baby's life are key when it comes to the balance of gut bacteria, as the gut microbiome undergoes the majority of its development before the age of 2 years.
"This is where factors like diet and environment play a role, as they can encourage or disrupt this delicate balance. It’s important to encourage a diverse diet throughout a child's life but especially under the age of 2. Alongside a healthy balanced diet you can use a supplement, such as Colief® Multibiotic Drops. These contain live cultures that may help to introduce and sustain beneficial bacteria in your baby's digestive system."
Colief® Multibiotic Drops have 1.1 billion live cultures of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, LGG®, one of the most researched gut-loving bacteria strain in the world, as well as Bifidobacterium infantis, which is scientifically proven to help develop a healthy immune system. By protecting against harmful bacteria, bifidobacteria positively impact overall health and well-being in infants.
Suitable for breastfed and formula fed babies from birth onwards, Colief® Multibiotic Drops are easy to use and only need to be taken once daily – either given directly to your baby or added to breast milk, infant formula, milk, or yoghurt.
Colief® Multibiotic Drops 8ml are available to buy for £8.00 on www.amazon.co.uk. For more information or advice, head to https://babycare.colief.com/happy-gut
