Address the root cause of chronic conditions with the first gut microbiome testing and coaching program designed exclusively for parents of infants and toddlers.
The reactive, one-size-fits-all approach to baby’s healthcare is a never ending treadmill of flare ups, appointments, and questionable remedies. And rarely do we get to the root cause.
During baby’s first 1,000 days, tiny microbes in their gut are training their immune system for life. Imbalances may trigger chronic issues like eczema, allergies, colic, and more. The good news? Relief is possible with the right interventions.
Our comprehensive program includes:
Our self-paced program gives you multiple checkpoints that you can use over the course of 1 year. Here's how it works:
Collect your mess-free sample in under 5 minutes with our lab-validated dry swab. Send in your sample using the prepaid mailer, and receive your comprehensive Vaginal Health Report in 3-4 weeks.

Tiny Health was founded by Cheryl, a Mom looking to heal her baby’s microbiome after a C-Section birth. Unable to find clear, reliable answers anywhere she quickly realized that the only gut microbiome tests on the market were designed for grown-ups, not babies, leading to inaccurate results. She set out to create the first ever test to measure the microbiome health of babies during the critical first 1,000 days of life.
The traditional approach to healthcare is failing us. Tiny Health empowers parents to take charge of their babies’ gut health, which is fundamental for their lifelong health.

The microbes in your baby’s gut form the foundation for their lifelong health. And their gut is most malleable in the first 1,000 days of life. Testing early gives you the power to address imbalances and get ahead of chronic conditions.
If your practitioner is open to receiving information and education about Tiny Health’s suite of stool (and vaginal) health tests, we have a practitioner program to support that. Please enter their email here and we will reach out to them.
During the first 1,000 days of a baby’s life, a type of programming takes place. This programming helps to determine a child’s lifelong health and has been directly linked to a wide range of metabolic and immune mediated disorders that fit under the umbrella of chronic disease, sometimes referred to as noncommunicable disease or noninfectious disease. And because of something called epigenetics, programming can even be carried from one generation to the next.
No pressure or anything.
During a baby’s first 1000 days, you have the opportunity to make a big impact in everyday ways, like simple lifestyle or diet shifts.
As a baby grows, their gut matures and their immune system gets a little more skilled at identifying friend versus foe. Gut maturity is marked by diversity. After birth, the first major leap we see is when a baby begins eating solid food.
Parents have the biggest impact on a baby’s gut health during pregnancy and a baby’s first 12 months. As a toddler, there are gradual shifts towards a more diverse and adult-like microbiome that stabilizes between 3 and 5 years old.
Factors that affect baby gut health include vaginal birth or C-section, breastfeeding or formula feeding, and the use of antibiotics.

A microbiome test can provide useful insights on how the gut microbiome may be contributing to the symptoms you’re experiencing. Chances are, if your child is experiencing symptoms, there may be an underlying gut imbalance that is contributing to those symptoms, and understanding the gut can help to see if any imbalances are present and how they may be triggering a condition.
If we detect any imbalances, we can provide a personalized action plan to help you address them. By optimizing your gut microbiome, you may see the severity of reactions and symptoms decrease. And often eczema, allergies, colic are associated in a group of chronic conditions called the atopic march so catching these imbalances early can help you avert its progression from from one condition to another as your child grows.
Tiny+ Targeted includes:
Tiny+ Targeted is designed to help you address the root cause of your baby's gut imbalances, offering a comprehensive approach to gut health. Here's how it compares to single-kit offerings:
Tiny+ Targeted is specifically designed for parents working through chronic conditions, providing them with personalized support to help their baby achieve optimal gut health. The Baby's gut program includes two gut tests and four coaching sessions with a dedicated microbiome specialist, providing you with a high level of personalized support throughout your journey. Additional kits can be purchased at a discounted rate of $169/kit.
The Tiny+ Membership, on the other hand, is ideal for parents whose babies are not suffering from any chronic conditions and who want to take a proactive approach to optimize their baby’s gut health, setting the foundation for lifelong health. The Tiny+ Membership includes two gut microbiome tests and one coaching session per year. Additional kits can be purchased at a discounted rate of $169/kit.
As part of Tiny+ Targeted: Baby's Gut Conditions, you have access to additional gut and vaginal microbiome tests for any member of your family at the discounted rate of $169/kit.
If your child will be under 3 for the majority of the next year, you should select Tiny+ Targeted: Baby's Gut Conditions. If your child will be over 3 for the majority of the next year, we recommend Tiny+ Targeted: Child's Gut Conditions. However, your microbiome specialist will personalize either program to meet the specific age and needs of your child, so you really can choose either and have the same personalized experience!
