My newborn has struggled with painful trapped wind and explosive nappies since day 3
Expensive but worth it. My newborn has struggled with painful trapped wind and explosive nappies since day 3, and was screaming non-stop from 10pm until 3, 4 even 5am. We're now giving Colief before every feed, which is a bit of a faff with a hungry, breastfed-on-demand baby, but he is much more comfortable and everyone in the house is getting a little more rest. We're using in combination with Infacol, which helps him to burp, and Windis to help with the more stubborn and uncomfortable nappies. Colic and sleep deprivation is no joke!UPDATE: Our little one is now 10 weeks old and has been off Colief for about 2 weeks. We adjusted our breastfeeding routine as it seemed there was more milk than my baby could cope with. This meant he was gulping milk down, resulting in more wind and discomfort. I also suspect (and a LA Leche League lactation consultant agreed) that baby was getting too much of the lactose-rich foremilk. So we began nursing on one side for two feeds, then switching to the next side for the next two feeds (block feeding). I also cut all dairy from my diet in the advice of my GP. You should definitely take advice from LLL, a HV or GP before you do any of this, and you must be vigilant about the risk of mastitis with block feeding, but it did the trick for us. Our baby is still an extremely fussy, clingy, wakeful baby (joy!) but he no longer screams for hours on end, and when he does finally fall asleep at night, he sleeps for 8 hours solid. Still won't nap though! Answers on a postcard, please, from anyone who can fix that little problem :-)

Good value for money, may help with babys wind
Much cheaper than local supermarkets and pharmacies for a larger bottle. Colief can help babies with digestive problems even if they aren't lactose intolerant as it helps them go to the toilet more frequently and helps prevent the build up on wind however it's a nightmare to administer in a formula fed baby as it has to be left to work for 30 minutes before feeding - not good for a hungry baby with no patience - but it won't work if not left for the full 30 minutes. Instructions state it can be used for bottles made up in advance (2 drops, minimum of 4 hrs refrigeration time) but we found it wasn't effective at all used this way. Worth a try if you have a colicky, gassy, unsettled baby but if you don't see a difference after a week it's not going to work (instructions explain this). Helped manage my babies windy symptoms for a while but just to difficult to administer if you're out and about.

Colic drops
Arrived early just what I needed these work really well thanks

Ok
My 4 week old son was showing signs of having colic, he was very gassy during and after feeds and it was extremely hard to get his wind up. He was constantly pulling his legs up everytime I went to put him down after a feed. It was taking around an hour to settle him and put him down which is exhausting at 3am in the morning. I switched him to aptamil comfort with no changes. I started him on these drops last week and I can't say they have made a huge difference. He does bring up more wind but it didn't make a difference to how long it was taking him to settle. After a bit more research online I thought I would try a smaller teat size than the standard size 1 that came with my mam starter bottles. The difference was instant. He was actually finishing the bottle quicker too with more comfort. Hopefully this review helps someone else who is struggling

Really good!
Life savers!Much cheaper on here than in store shops.These were the best when our daughter was younger. We tried gripe water and other things for colic and nothing worked but these we saw a massive difference from the first few uses.When you are thinking about taking baby off (read the leaflet to double check) but we was told to wean them off the drops.
