Kids’ Health Australia
If you’re looking after a growing child or a new baby and want to support their health day to day, it helps to understand your options first.
Our kids’ health range in Australia includes children’s probiotics in chewable, lozenge and drop form, a liquid omega-3 for babies, and a probiotic for mothers and infants. Explore the range to understand the differences and find what suits your child’s age, needs and routine.
Why children’s health matters
Childhood is a time of steady growth and development. Digestion, sleep and daily activity all shape how a child feels, plays and concentrates, and how settled they are from one day to the next. Because children change so quickly, it’s easy to overlook how much small, everyday patterns add up. A calm, predictable routine gives a growing body a steady base to work from.
Habits make the biggest difference: regular meals with plenty of vegetables, fruit and wholegrains, enough sleep at consistent times, time outdoors and active play each day, brushing teeth twice a day, and washing hands before meals. These habits come first, and any product you choose builds on them.

When kids’ health support makes sense
- You’d like to support your child’s digestive health and general wellbeing as part of their everyday routine.
- You’re breastfeeding or have recently had a baby and would like support for both of you.
- You’d like to look after your child’s teeth and gums alongside brushing.
- Your child prefers a chewable, lozenge or drop over a capsule.
- Speak to your GP or child health nurse if your child is unwell, if digestive changes continue, or if a baby isn’t feeding or settling well.
- Check with a health professional before starting a product for a baby, or if your child takes medicines or has a diagnosed health condition.
Foundational support 
Everyday products that many families start with: a chewable probiotic for children and a liquid omega-3 for babies.
Choose BioGaia Protectis Kids if your child can chew a tablet and you’d like a single-strain Lactobacillus reuteri probiotic to support digestive health and immune function. Choose Nordic Naturals Baby’s DHA if you’re looking for a liquid omega-3 from wild Arctic cod for an infant. It provides 1050 mg of total omega-3s and 300 IU of vitamin D3 per serving, supports brain, eye and nervous system development, and is measured with the included dropper.
Targeted support 
Products with a narrower focus: an added nutrient for growing children, support for mother and baby together, or care for the mouth and gums.
Choose BioGaia Protectis Kids with Vitamin D if you’d like a chewable probiotic with added vitamin D3 that supports bone health in growing children as well as digestive and immune health. Metagenics Mother and Baby Probiotic is a multi-strain capsule that supports healthy gut flora in healthy infants and in breastfeeding or post-partum mothers. Choose BioGaia Prodentis Kids if you’d like a lozenge that supports oral and gum health, used together with good oral hygiene.
Common questions about kids’ health products
Can my child take a probiotic and an omega-3 at the same time?
Families often use more than one product, but it’s sensible to add one at a time so you can see how your child gets on with each. Follow the serving directions on each label, and check with your GP, pharmacist or practitioner before combining products for a baby or a child who takes medicines.
What should I check on the label before buying for a baby or child?
Check the age range the product is intended for, the serving directions and the format, since a tablet that suits a school-aged child may not suit a toddler. Also check whether the product is meant for the child or for a breastfeeding parent, and read the allergen and storage instructions.
How do I fit a kids’ supplement into a busy day?
Linking it to something that already happens every day, such as breakfast or the bedtime routine, makes it easier to remember. Keep it stored as the label directs and out of children’s reach, and give it as directed, not as a treat.
