This is a great product and easy to give to my 9 month old. I just let her lick it off my finger and for some reason she loves it! Will definitely plan to have on hand for my own use if there is a baby #2 and I have to be on antibiotics after delivery.

This ensures that the live cultures pass safely through the harsh stomach environment.
