Colief® Infant Digestive Aid
Is your baby suffering from Colic?
What is Colic?
Infant colic can have many causes. Research indicates that 38% of colic cases are caused by temporary lactose intolerance. This is because in the first months of life, some babies are unable to fully break down lactose, a complex sugar in breast and formula milk. It can produce gas, bloating and cause discomfort, and one of the main symptoms is inconsolable crying.
Symptoms Of Colic
3+ hours of crying
Drawing up of the knees
Arched back
Flushed cheeks
Inconsolable
If you suspect your baby has colic you could try a 1-week trial of Colief Infant Digestive Aid to see if temporary lactose intolerance is the cause of the colic symptoms. 100% natural and one of the UK’s most prescribed colic products, Colief Infant Digestive Aid has been trusted by UK parents and healthcare professionals for over 20 years.
For many babies, Colief Infant Digestive Aid can help ease the symptoms of colic by breaking down the lactose in infant formula or expressed breast milk, making it easier to digest. The result is less discomfort and fewer tears. Simply add a few drops of Colief Infant Digestive Aid to the milk each time you breastfeed or use infant formula.
Could It Be Something Else?
Other conditions can cause excessive crying, such as constipation and gastro-oesophageal reflux (GORD). If your baby has other symptoms, such as blood in the stools and vomiting, speak to your GP.
Top Tips For Dealing With Colic
1. Although it is distressing, the most important thing to remember if your baby is affected by colic is to remain calm.
2. Introduce a soothing routine around the time of the day when your baby’s colic is usually at its worst, this is typically in the evenings.
3. Keep a log of the times when your baby’s colic is at its worst – you may be able to find a pattern associated with any triggers, allowing you to understand better how to ease the symptoms.
4. Try a one-week trial of Colief Infant Digestive Aid to help diagnose whether temporary lactose intolerance could be the cause of your baby’s colic symptoms.
