Probiotics use in neonates continues to be a topic of interest. While an increasing number of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the US are beginning to use probiotics, many NICUs still don't. Barriers to the use of probiotics include safety implementation concerns, standardization of formulation, dosage, and duration. Further research must be done to address the benefits and barriers. This panel of experts discusses the historical background, benefits, current clinical evidence, and barriers to the use of probiotics in neonates.
