Colief Infant Drops contain the active ingredient  lactase, an enzyme which occurs naturally within the body:

Colief Infant Drop can reduce the hours of crying:

• Lactase enzyme for adding to infant milk or breast milk to reduce lactose content
• Safe from birth

Milk, dairy product, infant formulas and breast milk all contain a complex sugar called lactose. Lactase is the enzyme our bodies normally produce to break down lactose into the simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, so that we can absorb it.

Undigested Lactose: Transient Lactose deficiency can result in the temporary discomfort caused by undigested lactose in food. This can be an important factor in some babies with colic. As your baby's digestive system matures at around 3 months, you should be able to gradually withdraw Colief Infant Drops from use.

Colief works by breaking down the lactose in the baby’s usual milk before the baby is fed and making the feed more easily digestible.

Studies have shown that the hours of crying may be greatly reduced when babies are fed their usual milk treated with Colief Infant Drops

When you should use Colief Infant Drops: You should use Colief Infant Drops every time you feed your baby until the baby is approx 3 - 4 months old, by which time the symptoms of colic should have disappeared. You should then be able to withdraw Colief gradually from use, i.e., firstly by halving the drops used per feed, then using Colief Infant Drops only at alternative feeds, then at only one feed a day before complete withdrawal. If at any stage the signs of discomfort return, revert to previous dosage level.
