Bottom Line

Kids have the option of either chewing these tiny tablets or swallowing them whole.

Pros

Tiny pill is easy for kids to swallow. Does a good job of relieving stomach issues and improving regularity. Children tolerate the tablets well, with little to no stomach upset after taking.

Cons

Some children aren’t thrilled with the taste, and others won’t swallow the tablet. Pills are very small, hard to handle, and roll away easily.

Bottom Line

Older kids may do fine taking these non-chewable probiotic tablets, which have good overall results on digestive health.

Pros

Parents report good results with this tablet, often better than other chewable brands. Tablet is smaller than many other probiotic pills. Vitamins and probiotics are mainly vegetable-derived.

Cons

Not a chewable, which can be a problem for many kids. Dosage and nutrient levels are labeled in a misleading way, some parents feel.

Bottom Line

A fast, easy and precise way to give probiotics to kids reluctant to take a chewable or standard pill.

Pros

Very easy to administer to infants, with liquid allowing for tailored doses to children of different ages and weights. Doesn’t need refrigeration.

Cons

Results are mixed when using to treat stomach issues or colic. Taste of the liquid is too strong for some. Babies may spit up right after receiving a dose.
