Pretty sure it’s for use from 1 month onwards, but please consult a pharmacist, your health visitor or your midwife or GP if you have any worries x

Infacol can be used from birth. Many professionals say it is not effective. We use it for my 4 week old son. The griping cries have decreased but I’m not sure if this is because he’s that little bit older.

Colief was recommended by my health visitor but if you’re breastfeeding it’s a bit of a faff to give as it must be mixed with the milk for the enzyme to be effective.

Gripe water was another suggestion, you can buy alcohol and sugar free now.

Hi hun my baby girl suffered really bad from colic . Infacol wasn’t helping so we switch to colif ..is bit more expensive but is worth it. We was once advised by doctor on emergency that in other countries they recommend to take probiotics. She show us which one is best and specially for the baby ...very little bottle 5ml is around £15 is called BioGaia Protectis probiotic.

So colif and BioGaia change everything...after she was 2 half months old the colics stops . Xx
