What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Colief Infant Drops?

Colief Infant Drops are primarily used to treat symptoms of colic in babies. Colic is characterised by excessive crying, fussiness, and apparent abdominal discomfort in otherwise healthy infants. The drops may help alleviate gas, bloating, and digestive discomfort associated with temporary lactose intolerance in babies.

How do Colief Infant Drops work?

Colief Infant Drops contain lactase enzyme, which breaks down lactose (milk sugar) into simpler sugars that are easier for babies to digest. By adding the drops to milk before feeding, the lactose is partially broken down, potentially reducing the likelihood of digestive discomfort caused by temporary lactose intolerance.

Is Colief Infant Drops vegan?

Yes, Colief Infant Drops are suitable for vegans. The lactase enzyme used in the product is derived from yeast, not animal sources, and there are no other animal-derived ingredients in the formulation.

At what age can babies start using Colief Infant Drops?

Colief Infant Drops can be used from birth onwards. They're particularly beneficial for newborns and young infants who may be experiencing temporary lactose intolerance, which is common in the first few months of life. As always, it's advisable to consult with your paediatrician before introducing any new supplement to your baby's diet.

Can Colief Infant Drops be used with both breast milk and formula?

Yes, Colief Infant Drops can be used with both breast milk and formula.

When Breastfeeding:

Express a few tablespoons of breast milk into a sterilised container. Add four drops of Colief and feed it back to the baby using a sterilized plastic spoon. Immediately start breastfeeding as normal.

With Infant Formula:

Prepare the formula as per manufacturer’s instructions. Add 4 drops of Colief® to the warm (not hot) formula. Wait 30 minutes, shaking the formula occasionally, then feed the baby as normal, making sure the formula is at the correct temperature. Discard any unused formula.

Colief Infant Drops can be used at every feeding until the baby is 3 to 4 months old, by which time the signs of colic should have disappeared. Colief can then be withdrawn gradually from use, first by halving the drops per feed, then using at alternative feeds, then one feed per day before complete withdrawal. If at any stage the signs of colic return, revert to previous dosage.

Colief works best in warm milk.

Colief should not be added to milk at refrigerator temperature.

When babies begin taking milk treated with Colief, there may be change in stool pattern. The stools may then resemble those of a breastfed baby - looser and more frequent, even if formula feeding.
