Colief Infant Drops - Lactase Enzyme Support for Your Baby

 

You can help your baby digest milk more comfortably with these specially formulated drops. Each 7ml bottle contains lactase enzyme that breaks down lactose in breast milk or formula, reducing the likelihood of digestive discomfort during feeding. The drops are designed to be added directly to your baby's milk before feeding.

These drops work by supplementing your baby's natural lactase production, which may be insufficient in the early months of life. The enzyme helps convert lactose into simpler sugars that are easier for your infant to digest. You can use these drops with both breast milk and infant formula.

 

How Lactase Enzyme Drops Work in Your Baby's System

 

The lactase enzyme in these drops mimics your baby's natural digestive process. When you add the drops to milk, the enzyme begins breaking down lactose immediately, converting it into glucose and galactose. This pre-digestion process means your baby's digestive system has less work to do when processing the milk.

The enzyme remains active at body temperature and continues working in your baby's stomach. This action helps reduce the amount of undigested lactose that could otherwise cause digestive upset. The process is gentle and works alongside your baby's natural digestive mechanisms.

 

Which Babies May Benefit from These Drops

 

These drops are suitable for babies who experience digestive discomfort after feeding. You might consider using them if your baby shows signs of difficulty digesting milk, such as excessive crying after feeds, particularly in the evening hours. The drops can be used from birth onwards under healthcare professional guidance.

Babies who may benefit from colief infant drops include those with:

• Temporary lactase deficiency, which is common in newborns
• Digestive discomfort following milk feeds
• Difficulty settling after feeding times
• Signs of milk intolerance that concern parents

Why These Drops Are Preservative-Free

 

The formulation contains no artificial preservatives, making it gentler for your baby's developing digestive system. This preservative-free approach reduces the risk of additional ingredients that might cause sensitivity in young infants. The drops maintain their effectiveness without requiring chemical preservatives.

The absence of preservatives means you need to follow storage instructions carefully to maintain the product's quality and safety. This formulation choice prioritises your baby's wellbeing by minimising exposure to unnecessary additives during the crucial early feeding period.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

These drops are clinically formulated for infant use and have been developed specifically for babies' delicate digestive systems. The lactase enzyme concentration is appropriate for the typical milk volumes consumed by infants during their first months of life.

You must store the drops in a refrigerator after opening and use them within the timeframe specified on the packaging. The preservative-free formulation requires careful storage to maintain both safety and effectiveness. Always check the expiry date before use and discard any unused product after the recommended period.
