Friso believes that Good Poop Matters, Baby!
Good poop matters, because good poop is a physical indicator that parents can use to easily tell if their child has good digestive health, which can help children absorb the nutrients they need to be happy, healthy kids.1

How can you help your child achieve Good Poop?
Tiny tummies easily recognise natural, whole foods but preservatives and unwanted additives can complicate digestion and disrupt healthy bacteria in a child’s tummy.

Keeping healthy with exercise and a good night’s rest can aid digestion. Good sleep is good for the gut’s microbiome2, which plays an important role in the digestive, metabolic and immune functions, in turn helping to regulate sleep. That’s right, good gut health also helps children sleep better!3 95% of the body’s serotonin – an important hormone that regulates sleep and digestion – is found in your child’s gut.
