• 2. Lovebug’s toddler probiotic targets the gut-brain axis to ease sleep and digestion struggles.
• 3. Amazon’s best-selling kids probiotics category grew 40% year-over-year since 2024.
• 4. Unauthorized sellers on Walmart’s marketplace risk counterfeit probiotic products.
• 5. CFU count and strain transparency (e.g., Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12) are critical for toddler efficacy.
