Gas, colic, and digestive discomfort are among the most common reasons babies wake and cry which often trace back to imbalances in the gut. The Baby Gut Health Test checks your baby's microbiome for the imbalances behind fussiness, gas, and discomfort, and gives you a personalized plan.
When the wake windows
aren't enough
Gas, reflux, and digestive distress are among the most common reasons babies wake, arch, and cry.
Why an uncomfortable gut means an uncomfortable night
Breastmilk contains complex sugars called HMOs that babies can't digest on their own — they're there to feed one specific bacterium, Bifidobacterium infantis. In many Western infants it's missing or low. When it is, those sugars pass through undigested.
Other bacteria ferment what B. infantis would have used. That fermentation produces gas — which for a small baby means pressure, discomfort, arching, and crying.
A baby who's physically uncomfortable wakes more, settles harder, and is harder to soothe. No amount of routine adjustment resolves a physiological cause.
A baby's gut is at its most malleable in the first 1,000 days. Imbalances addressed early are easier to shift — and the same microbes that support digestion are also training their immune system.

Parents who stopped guessing about their baby's sleep
She had been sleeping through the nights and so happy since we decided to get her gut healthy with the information we received from our kit.
She's sleeping more and for longer stretches, she doesn't have horrible gas pains, and is spitting up much less.
At 14 months old, he was sleeping more, talking, and responding more in general! I believe the probiotic made all the difference!

How does testing work? What do I have to do?
We use an at-home stool test collected with a lab-certified swab from used tissue paper.
The process is simple and, unlike other tests on the market, Tiny Health doesn’t require gloves, a spoon-like collection device, or that you handle stool directly, just a regular tissue.
Store your sample in the included container and zippered bag, then mail it back to us in the prepaid envelope included with your kit.
