Colief Infant Digestive Aid - Natural Colic Relief, Lactose Breakdown, 90 Servings, 0.5 Fl Oz

The first few bottles I purchased worked great but the last one I recently purchased didn’t work at all. It was back to square one with my baby having terrible gas and fussing and crying. I hate to purchase again and risk getting another bottle that is not effective.

I have tried everything - 4 or 5 different formulas, Gripe Water, Colic drops, Gas Drops, Probiotics, Windis, prescription Pepcid - but this product immediately made a HUGE impact! I buy very low Lactose formula for sensitive tummies first of all - then add this product- bringing the Lactose content down to zero. I prepared several bottles ahead of time and added these drops. I give them a shake whenever I walked by the fridge. I let them sit for several hours before use. Results - Literally the first night - he went from crying, arching his back, and waking every 2 hours - to sleeping 4 or 5 hours straight and drinking his bottle in a relaxed manner. Absolute game changer!I will continue to give him the Pepcid, Probiotics, Gas Drops and so on..... However I will definitely continue to use these Lactose Enzymes and prepare bottles ahead of time so that the Enzymes have time to dissolve the Lactose - OMG. Highly recommend!

If you’re reading this review, it’s probably because your loved one is dealing with colic.Let me start by saying Colic really, really, reallly sucks.Our son (who is now 2 years old) was colicky and would hardly ever sleep on his back even during the day. He had bad reflux and struggled to gain weight since he was spitting up so much. We tried pepcid at the recommendation of a pediatric GI and he still didn’t sleep great and we think it led to his weight percentile dropping off a cliff (his weight percentile went back up after we stopped).With our second child, who is now one month old, we promised ourselves we wouldn’t put her through the same misery our son went through. When she started showing the same signs of colic our son had (didn’t want to be on her back, would cry nonstop from 8PM - 1AM, poops would be a struggle and kinda green), I knew we had try something. I did a ton of research, we started expensive probiotics like Evivo ($250 and was very bad for us) and got our breast milk tested by Lactation Lab ($100, highly recommend).It turns out, our breast milk was pretty high in lactose and slightly low in fat. I suspected our daughter was suffering from lactose overload The active ingredient in Colief? Yep, lactase. It was no surprise within 2 days of starting Colief (4 drops each feeding), she actually slept through her daily ‘witching hour’. To be fair, not every night is perfect but the baseline is soooo much better than before. She is currently sleeping next to me as I wrote this review (it’s been 4 hours), and her weight is gain has been above average. She sleeps so well that we’ve had to wake her up to feed after 5 hours sometimes.TLDR; get breast milk tested for lactose. if it’s above normal, Colief just might do the trick. If you’re on formula, worth trying since most formulas have lactose.

Well I am dubious about its actual primary action. It seems to be laxative. It makes the baby poo fast, right after eating, and kinda provides a relief BUT the baby eats milk with 4 drops of this product and poos immediately, so he wants to eat again fasterI suppose the product may affect the digestion. It is laxative.I will check with the pediatrician on it

If you’re dealing with colic you probably need this. My daughter would not sleep longer than 30 mins and would scream when she was awake. We tried everything: swaddling, gripe water, probiotics, the windis, massaging, reflexology, different burping techniques, gas drops, etc! Nothing worked! My husband and I were so stressed we were fighting constantly, my baby blues was extremely intensified I would cry constantly. I started researching and thought my breastfed baby might have a intolerance to lactose (no matter if you consume dairy or not there’s still lactose in breast milk). All the symptoms lined up so I said why not try it, the first night she slept 3 consecutive hours and it felt like a miracle. We are on day 4 and I am thanking the lord above for this product because it saved my sanity and allowed me to sleep and actually bond better with my baby. She’s not in pain anymore. She still has a few moments when she’s fussy but it’s decreased by 95% so that’s a WIN. Also when they have lactose intolerance they might have a diaper rash that seems impossible to rid of due to the acidic nature of the poo and my little one had it we changed her constantly and it was not going anywhere! Since we started these drops it’s made her poo less acidic and the rash is gone! Idk why this isn’t talked about more amoung moms or drs or even social media.
