Sumario:ABSTRACT: The nutrition and infant’s health is vitally important in today’s society. The probiotics arise as supplements for the innovation of functional foods for infants. The objective of this review was to find out which probiotics are currently most used in the development of new functional food products for infants. We counted on more than fifty bibliographical references about the development of functional foods from a probiotic bacterium and its healthy benefits, published in the following databases: EBSCO HOST, PLOS and DOAJ. It was found that Bacillus Coagulans emerges as an alternative that improves bioavailability conditions, and studies that investigate the benefits of probiotics in anthropometric aspect. Recognizing the benefits of probiotics in the health of infants, its application requires greater compliance with criteria of the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
