Colief Infant Drops - 15ml

Colief Infant Drops contain lactase enzyme, which helps infants digest lactose in breast milk and formula. This can alleviate symptoms like wind, bloating, and discomfort often associated with colic due to temporary lactose intolerance.

The lactase enzyme in Colief breaks down lactose (the sugar in milk) into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, before your baby consumes it. This pre-digestion makes the milk easier for your baby's immature digestive system to process, reducing gas and discomfort.

Yes, you can. Add 4 drops to a small amount of expressed breast milk and give it to your baby on a spoon before breastfeeding as usual. Do not add it directly to breast milk in the breast.

Yes, for formula, you can add 2 drops per feed to the prepared, lukewarm formula and store it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, up to a maximum of 12 hours. Always warm to feeding temperature before use and discard any unused portion.

Yes, Colief Infant Drops are suitable for use from birth, making them a safe option for even the youngest infants experiencing colicky symptoms.

Before opening, store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it must be refrigerated and used within three weeks to maintain its effectiveness.

Any breast milk or formula that has been treated with Colief Infant Drops and not consumed by your baby within the feeding period should be discarded. Do not save it for later.

Ensure you are following the dosage and administration instructions precisely. Check the product's expiry date and verify it has been refrigerated and used within three weeks of opening. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your pediatrician, as colic can have various causes beyond lactose intolerance.

Check the expiry date printed on the packaging. Verify that the product has been stored correctly in the refrigerator after opening and that it is still within the three-week usage period. Improper storage or expired product can reduce enzyme effectiveness. If in doubt, discard and use a new bottle.

Ensure the milk is at an appropriate feeding temperature. The drops themselves are tasteless, but some babies might be sensitive to slight changes. Confirm that the waiting period for formula (30 minutes or 4 hours for advance prep) is observed, as this allows the enzyme to act without significantly altering the milk's properties. If feeding breast milk, ensure the small amount of expressed milk with drops is given before the main feed, not during.

Hold the bottle vertically to dispense drops accurately. If a drop doesn't form immediately, gently tap the bottle. Avoid shaking the bottle excessively. Count carefully to ensure the correct number of drops is administered.
