“Our baby’s symptoms finally went away”

Tiny Health's gut test helps your baby overcome fussiness, become happier and reduce risks of early health conditions. Testing takes less than 5 minutes.

Developed by researchers from:

The first 1,000 days of your baby’s life can be tough

Tough on them. And on you, too. The uncertainty. The second-guessing. The sleepless nights. The constant wondering that you may get it “wrong” even though you do everything “right.” Babies don’t come with an instruction manual. And it’s hard to know why your baby isn’t feeling their best.

The answer is in your baby’s gut

Fussiness, sleep issues, reflux, eczema, food allergies, and even some long-term conditions like asthma, and type 1 diabetes link back to your child’s microbiome development during these crucial first 1,000 days. 

Their immune system may need a little help

A C-section birth, antibiotics, formula use, or living in an over-sanitized, urban environment can impact your baby’s immune system. Tiny Health helps you pinpoint any potential issues and jumpstart their health.

Tiny Health empowers you take action when it matters most

With our at-home test kit, you’ll get a precise picture of what’s happening in your baby’s gut. You’ll know how to make your baby feel better and how to protect their overall health. Testing is fast, easy and mess-free.

“My son’s eczema and gas issues resolved completely.”

“Tiny Health has been a wonderful resource for our family. My son was born via c section and had very poor gut health at his initial test. He suffered from mild eczema and bad gas. After a month on the recommended probiotic from the team at Tiny Health both issues resolved completely and at his follow up gut tests 2 month later his gut biome had improved immensely. We are so glad to have this resource to help set up our son for the healthiest life he can have.”

The first gut test designed for babies

Tiny Health was founded by a mom who wanted to test her baby’s gut trajectory after her C-section and couldn’t find a straight answer in the market. Our test is the first to measure what matters most to babies. Other gut tests use “adult reference ranges,” which are entirely different from babies' ranges and lead to incorrect conclusions.

We use functional profiling to what microbes are present, how much of them are there, and what they’re actually doing

Targeted suggestions

We use strain-level identification and precision science to detect and confirm microbes' transference, probiotics impact, and more
