Could you do more than a prenatal to help your baby have a healthy, happy start?

Taking a prenatal during pregnancy is a good start. But it doesn’t account for a big piece of the puzzle: your microbiome. During birth, you’ll transfer the first, most important bacteria to your baby to jumpstart their immune system.

Low levels of key bacteria can lead to lifelong health issues

Most early life conditions (fussiness, sleep issues, reflux, eczema, food allergies) and some long-term ones (asthma, autoimmune, autism) link to your baby's gut microbiome. That’s why it’s so important to monitor your gut even before they’re born.

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.

“We were able to identify and take action on his condition early on”

“As a first-time mom, I didn’t realize the impact my diet during pregnancy could have on my baby’s microbiome.  Thanks to Tiny Healthy I was able to adjust my diet and take the necessary steps to ensure my baby’s health. After he was born, I tested him and followed Tiny Health’s recommendations.  After 4 months, we retook the test and saw a drastic improvement. We were able to take the proper preventative steps to make his immune system stronger.  We are so thankful!”

The first gut test designed for moms & 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use a stool test collected with a lab-certified sampling swab from soiled 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 at all, other than on a regular tissue paper.

The sample is then stored in the included container and zippered back and mailed back to us on the prepaid envelope included with your kit.

Microbiome health as a field is relatively new compared to medicine in general. However, human microbiome research has grown over the past 10 years and rose exponentially in the past five years as sequencing technology became more affordable.

There are now more researchers looking closely at how the microbiome is related to health and disease. When it comes to the baby microbiome and associations with health or disease, some very clear patterns have emerged. We pull data and reference high-quality research that is reproducible and gives consistent results. This way, you can be confident in the information that we share.

Traditional medical practitioners don’t get training for microbiome health and as such, are not always familiar with the latest research and recommendations on this field of medicine.

However, our tests are developed by a team of leading pediatric scientists and physicians who are on the cutting edge of this impactful field.

Often, it’s up to your doctor to keep up on the latest research and most don’t have the time. In addition to this, it can take 10 - 15 years for academic research to be put into medical practice. So it’s possible that your doctor hasn’t heard about the gut microbiome. 

But that doesn’t mean that it’s something to wait on.

Especially during pregnancy and the first few years of life.Recent studies show just how important the microbiome is to your baby’s immune development. You can use microbiome testing to make sure your baby has bacteria that protect health.

Not at all. Unlike DNA testing, conditions associated with the microbiome are reversible and risks can be reduced by taking preventative measures. Instead of just being worried about it, you can take the recommended actions and get some well-deserved peace of mind.
