Dailybacs® Kids

At birth, your newborn is first exposed to a variety of bacteria that colonize the gut. In a natural birth, these come from the mother’s vaginal microbiome (e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, as well as Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium).

In a cesarean birth, on the other hand, the first bacteria primarily come from skin contact with family members and the environment, resulting in a different “starter microbiome.”

During breastfeeding, the baby takes in a variety of different bacteria through breast milk, including lactic acid bacteria. These are part of the infant’s natural microbial environment.

The composition of breast milk differs from that of alternative infant formula, which is nevertheless tailored to the specific needs of infants.

When meals containing puréed foods are introduced, new types of bacteria enter the gut, and the composition of a child’s microbiome changes dynamically during the first two years of life.

A balanced, age-appropriate diet with a variety of foods, including whole grains, fruit, and vegetables, contributes to a varied nutrient intake.

In older children and adults, the microbiome changes less dynamically, but is still shaped by various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and environmental influences. Each stage of life brings different changes to the microbiome.

The composition of our Dailybacs® Kids takes into account the typical dietary habits of children and teenagers. From the age of 17, we recommend switching to Dailybacs® Women/Men, which are tailored to the general diet of adults.
