Colief Infant Drops

BUY THESE!!! If you baby is experiencing "colic" these are worth a shot. We tried everything - Gripe Water, Mylicon, eliminating dairy in my diet, digestive enzymes for me, and probiotics for me and the baby. Nothing worked. These have been a miracle. I mostly pump breastmilk and I can put 2-4 drops of these in each bottle (2 if it will sit for a while and 4 if I intend to feed in the next 30 minutes) and my baby does much better. She still has gas, but no more inconsolable crying bouts that last 60-90 minutes every time she eats!! For breastfeeding you can put some pump milked in a spoon or small bowl and add 4 drops, then suck it up with a syringe (the kind you probably got with gripe water or tylenol) and give it to the baby right before breastfeeding. I showed the drops to the pediatrician and lactation consultant and they said they are perfectly safe. These do ship from Ireland so they will take some time to arrive (about 2 weeks). If you need them fast you may want to find a local company that sells them.

We tried it with our 2 week old but were skeptical, plus the whole "must be mixed 30 minutes in advance" seemed kinda impossible. However, i had to write this review because it worked and it's doable. I had to start pumping milk, putting it in bottles in 1 feeding portions, adding the drops and refrigirating them. So at night i put a few bottles of milk on ice and bring them up into the bedroom before sleep. All i have to do is warm up a bottle when baby wakes up, which takes only a couple of minutes. Baby is so much calmer, gets better sleep, doesn't wake up or stay up crying and stretching and kicking his little legs. I was not happy about having to pump milk and losing the one on one time of breastfeeding, but when i saw how much better my son felt, it made it worth it. Hopefully i can wean him off it in a couple of months and go back to breastfeeding.Follow up: baby is now almost 5 months old. We used Colief for 1 month and were able to stop with no issues.

I’m sure this works well, I’m just trying to figure out the best way to use it. I feel like once I figure that out I’ll see the results I wanted

I gave the drops to my 6 weeks old and he started to have pain discomfort the whole day. He never cried for so long and so hurtful until these drops.Just stick to the gas drops or gripe water….

These drops completely relieved my 6 month old of gas pain. I went to a GI specialist at Stanford and even they did not think my son's issue was due to lactose intolerance. But, in fact he was lactose intolerant. Don't always listen to doctors. Go with your mommy instinct. On a mommy board I saw a recommendation for these drops and it has seriously changed our lives. Our 6 month old son went from waking up 3-4 times per night with back arching gas pain to overnight sleeping peacefully with no gas pain. I couldn't believe how quickly it worked!! Yes, you have to put the drops in 30 minutes in advance of feeding your baby, which is a small price to pay for peaceful sleep. I warm up an 8 oz bottle and put 5 drops in it and swirl it. I feed my baby 30 min to up to 4 hours later and he is one happy gas free baby. Try it if your baby has painful gas. It was a life saver for us. The bottle of lactase drops does lose its potency after 2 weeks so beware. You'll have to buy a new bottle of drops every 2 weeks.

From the minute it came, its not worth it. The package was opened, as well as the box the medicine came. It did still have the seal. So we tried it. However, it didnt. My son had colic & gas pains. & If anything, it made it all worse. Price is expensive for just a little bottle. & The bottle doesnt last long at all! & The directions are ridiculous. I had to search online for quite a while to figure out how to even use it. I def don't recommend. There is other, better products for the same price.

Our newborn started having major colic when we got her home from the hospital and my milk came in. We started with Gas Relief Drops and they just weren't cutting it. My husband found this product and we ordered it ASAP, desperate to get her tummy problems resolved. After the first bottle, her stomach began reacting normally again. We use a dose with ever feeding and her colic is completely gone. She sleeps solid again like she did in the hospital. I love that this is a natural product and it instantly started working. Be sure to read the instructions fully and timing is everything!
