Frequently Asked Questions

We suggest up to nine drops daily before bedtime.

Shake well for 10 seconds before each use to mix the bacteria culture with the oil.
At naptime or bedtime, we recommend you serve up to nine drops directly on a spoon.
Alternatively, you can also mix the drops into your child's cup of water, milk or juice.
Do not add to hot drinks or food as this may damage the live bacteria.
Use within 30 days of opening.

Our probiotic drops are specially formulated to care for your little one's belly naturally so they can rest easier. With this in mind, we'd recommend giving your child the drops close to bedtime. Everyone's metabolism is different though, so, ultimately, we'd advise you to pick whatever time suits your child's routine best.

Our drops are suitable for use by children aged 12 months and older.

Our naturally sourced drops are free from gluten, nuts, soy, lactose and/or milk protein, eggs, fish, and shellfish. Please note that in order to minimize the risk of coconut allergies, we use highly refined coconut oil, but this may not suffice for those with hypersensitivities, so please consult your health provider should you have any concerns.

No, all Little Yawn Collective products are 100% melatonin-free. Melatonin has not been proven safe for long-term use in children by the scientific community. We believe that the hormone melatonin should never be a substitute for healthy sleep practices, which include a consistent age-appropriate bedtime routine.

There are two active ingredients in the drops — organic chamomile flower extract and the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG probiotic strain. Our drops also contain medium chain triglycerides (highly refined coconut and kernel palm oils), shea butter, and mono- and diglycerides.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is the most clinically studied probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria. It helps keep the balance of good bacteria in the digestive tract.

Probiotics are "good bacteria" working in your little one's tummy and gut. Our Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG probiotic can help reduce fussiness before bedtime and calm occasional digestive upset. Chamomile (we use highest quality organic English Chamomile) is known for its gentle relaxation properties. It helps calm nervous agitation and improve sleep quality.

While the drops are not flavored, they do have the subtle, natural taste of the core ingredients.

Store in a dry place at room temperature below 77°F (25°C). Please note that the drops should not be stored in the fridge or freezer.
