Colief Infant Drops | Lactase Enzyme Drops | Natural Colic Relief for Babies | Reduces Bloating, Wind and Crying | 7ml

My baby had all the classic signs of colic and I really would not wish a colicky baby on anyone- it is the the worst!We are exclusively breastfeeding and I do not like the idea of giving my newborn all kinds of random potions which include E numbers and other weird ingredients. Not to mention a lack of research into wether they actually work (infacol anyone?). Anyway I suspected that my baby's colic was down to a lactose intollerence because he was producing poohs that had a sandy consistency. He also had symptons of lactose overload (see google for more info). I had already tried block feeding and had eliminated dairy from my own diet. My older daughter has a mild lactose intollerence but it never caused issues during breastfeeding for her.I finally tried colief and about 24hrs after starting to use it, I saw a marked difference in my baby- he started to be happy and smile more and his evening crying reduced significantly with each day.After a few days I skipped using the drops during the night feeds and low and behold he started to be in pain with his tummy again. We are now using at every feed although I have to admit that I often put the drops directly onto my nipple before a feed and we are still see good results as hand expressing onto a spoon isn't always convenient. I wouldn't be without a bottle of this now!Tonight he went to sleep no tears and no fuss when previously we would be pacing up and down whilst he fretted or he 'd be crying at the breast with milk going everywhere. It worked for us because the cause of the colic was lactose intollerence- lots of babies don't make enough of the enzyme lactase which breaks down the proteins in milk. Usually they are producing enough of their own by 3 or 4 months so I will start to reduce the colief when we get near that point to see if he can manage without it but for now we use it at every feed.Yes the bottle is small but you only use a little amount at each feed. The active ingredient is an enzyme produced naturally in the gut . Lots of the other colic remedies are little more than unresearched hocus pocus and contain sugar, E numbers and goodness knows what else.This product is expensive because it contains legitimate ingredients but it probably won't work if your baby isn't lactase deficient and the colic is caused by another issue. For us it's been a life saver!

Nice item. Easy to use.

Good product

Can't knock the product as I'm sure it works for some babies but sadly made our baby throw up all her milk

I found it difficult to give as I breastfeed the baby

These drops dont just help colic... they also cure constipation!!!!!!My daughter was 15 weeks when I started her on these drops in each feed. She was very constipated and only managing to poo every 4-5 days. Doctor suggested changing milk to Lactose Free SMA (currently on cow & gate) but I was very reluctant to change as I know this can cause massive tummy upsets. I was recommended trying these drops by multiple other mums on a baby forum. I cannot tell you the instant change I saw in my daughter it was amazing!! She is now pooing EVERY day and is much happier. AMAZING!!!! Highly recommend defo worth every penny!!!!!

Tried but eventually gave up on them as adding them to a bottle 30 minutes before each time just wasnt practical. Very expensive for such a terny tiny bottle.

I used it for 3 months with my baby and I’m still not sure if it worked or not. Using it exactly by instruction is almost impossible if you are bottle feeding. It says you have to add it to lukewarm milk and then wait for 30 minutes, periodically shake it for it to activate. Anyone who has a baby knows it’s almost impossible as we feed on demand and first 3 months that demand can be anytime. But I still used it as my baby was extremely gassy, I was just adding drops when milked cooled to drinking temperature and give it right away. Not sure if it worked as it takes days to start working but I feel like we were a little better on it than without. No harm in trying and I liked the convenience of getting in delivered to my door.
