- Model: 33020
Colief Infant Drops (15 ml) are drops containing the enzyme lactase, intended for babies who find it harder to fully digest lactose (milk sugar) during the first months of life. In some babies this can be one of the factors contributing to colic. The drops are not given to the baby directly but are added to breast milk or infant formula.
Lactase breaks lactose down into the simpler sugars glucose and galactose. Lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. According to the manufacturer, the drops can be used from birth, usually until around 3–4 months of age, and an improvement is most often seen within the first week of regular use.

- Around 90 uses: 15 ml bottle, one serving is 4 drops.
Pharmacist's advice
Always mix the drops into milk – do not drop them directly into the baby’s mouth. The milk should be lukewarm: the enzyme is damaged by high temperatures and works more slowly in cold milk.
Use the drops at every feed. If the appearance or frequency of the stools changes, the manufacturer advises reducing the number of drops.
If your baby is not gaining weight, refuses feeds, vomits, has a fever or rarely passes urine, contact your paediatrician straight away – crying and cramps can also have other causes that need to be checked.
Education and related care
Colic is a common and usually temporary problem in the first months. Besides the drops, babies may benefit from a good feeding technique, burping after feeds, warmth on the tummy, being carried upright and a gentle clockwise tummy massage.
