I wonder if smearing a bit of probiotics on the pacifier could work even better than dropping it in the dirt?


Probiotics is basically a marketing term, and scientifically meaningless. So: no.


Citation? I see studies testing the impact of various alleged-probiotic bacteria fairly frequently. What am I missing?


I wouldn't go as far as the commenter above but probiotic strains that we can actually produce are an absolutely tiny fraction of the bacteria that can exist in our gut. There's a reason fecal transplants are a thing, and it's not because they're fun for all involved.


without knowing anything, that sounds more dangerous for an infant to me
