Happy tummies mean happy days for growing kids
Your child’s happiness begins with good physical health and positive social interactions.
A sore tummy impacts your child’s happiness. It means time off school, more visits to the doctor, and disrupted sleep for the whole family. Often, digestive discomfort is due to a microbial imbalance of good gut bacteria. This imbalance can upset the digestive system, which affects gut movements and may lead to tummy ache. It is important that your child’s diet helps to maintain a healthy digestive system, because this will help regular and painless bowel movements. Constipation and other tummy problems can be reduced by having more good gut bacteria to maintain the balance. A child with a happy tummy has a happier day!
Live cultures have been shown to have a positive effect on the digestive system. These cultures colonise the digestive system, where they help digestive comfort and support a happy tummy. They help to move food along the digestive system, resulting in improved bowel movement.
Research in preschool children has shown that supplementing a child’s daily diet with L. reuteri reduces their risk of getting diarrhoea or respiratory tract infections. This is because L. reuteri supports the immune cells found in the intestine to fight off infection.
L. reuteri has also been shown to reduce tummy ache in some children who regularly complain of a sore tummy but appear to have no underlying cause. When the good bacteria in your child’s gut is balanced, it helps with digestive comfort.
To make it easier for you to give your child the benefits of L. reuteri, we’ve added it to NESTLÉ® LACTOKID® 4.
NESTLÉ® LACTOKID® 4 is a delicious and creamy drink for growing children aged 3–5 years. It is specially formulated for your growing child and is the only drink which contains Comfortis® (L. reuteri) –active cultures that ensure a happy tummy.

To make sure the cultures do their job, cool the boiled water to body temperature before adding NESTLÉ® LACTOKID® 4 powder.
