Some children may experience mild gas or bloating during the first few days of introducing a probiotic. This is a normal adjustment response as the gut adapts to the introduction of live bacteria. These effects are generally brief and resolve on their own. Starting gradually, for example, offering a partial serving first, and monitoring your child's well-being, is always a sensible approach.
