Colief Lactase Drops for Babies - Enzyme Support for Infant Feeding

You can help reduce your baby's discomfort during feeding with Colief Infant Drops, which contain lactase enzyme to break down lactose in breast milk or formula. These drops work by pre-digesting the lactose before your baby consumes the milk, making it easier for their developing digestive system to process.

The drops are specifically formulated for infants and can be added directly to expressed breast milk or formula milk. Each bottle provides a measured dose of lactase enzyme that remains active at body temperature, ensuring effective lactose breakdown during feeding.

How Lactase Enzyme Drops Work in Your Baby's Digestive System

Lactase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down lactose, the main sugar found in milk. Some babies produce insufficient amounts of this enzyme, which can lead to feeding difficulties and digestive discomfort. When you add these drops to your baby's milk, the lactase enzyme begins breaking down the lactose immediately.

The enzyme converts lactose into simpler sugars - glucose and galactose - which are much easier for your baby's intestines to absorb. This process happens before the milk reaches your baby's stomach, reducing the likelihood of digestive upset during and after feeding.

Which Babies Benefit from Lactase Enzyme Supplementation

These drops are suitable for babies who experience feeding-related discomfort that may be linked to lactose processing difficulties. You might consider using lactase drops for babies if your infant shows signs of digestive upset during or after milk feeds, particularly if they seem uncomfortable despite adequate feeding technique.

The drops are appropriate for use with both breastfed and formula-fed babies. Many parents find them helpful when exploring options in our baby and toddler care range for supporting comfortable feeding experiences.

Suitable for babies from birth onwards
Compatible with both breast milk and infant formula
Can be used alongside normal feeding routines
Does not affect the nutritional content of the milk

Why These Drops Are Preservative-Free for Infant Safety

Colief Infant Drops contain no artificial preservatives, colours, or flavours, making them suitable for your baby's delicate digestive system. The preservative-free formulation reduces the risk of additional ingredients causing sensitivity reactions in young infants.

The drops have a neutral taste and do not alter the flavour of breast milk or formula, ensuring your baby continues to accept their regular feeds. This careful formulation approach prioritises infant safety while maintaining the effectiveness of the lactase enzyme.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

These drops are clinically formulated for infant use and have been developed specifically for the pH and temperature conditions found in milk feeds. The lactase enzyme remains stable and active when mixed with milk at feeding temperature, ensuring consistent performance.

You should store the drops in a cool, dry place and use them within the timeframe specified on the packaging once opened. The drops should be mixed with milk just before feeding to maintain optimal enzyme activity and ensure your baby receives the full benefit of the lactase supplementation.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Administer Colief Lactase Drops to Your Baby

You should add the drops directly to your baby's milk before feeding. For expressed breast milk, add the recommended number of drops to the milk and mix gently. For formula feeding, add the drops to the prepared formula at feeding temperature and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

The drops should be mixed with the milk just before feeding to maintain enzyme activity. You can use the drops with each feed as needed, following the dosage instructions provided with the product. Always check the packaging for specific dosage recommendations based on your baby's age and feeding volume.

Timing and Frequency Guidelines for Optimal Results

You can use these drops with every feed if your baby experiences consistent discomfort, or use them selectively when symptoms are more pronounced. The lactase enzyme begins working immediately upon contact with the milk, so there is no waiting period required before feeding.

If you are breastfeeding directly, you will need to express some milk first, add the drops, and then offer this treated milk to your baby before continuing with direct breastfeeding. For bottle feeding, simply add the drops to the prepared bottle and feed as normal.

Understanding Potential Side Effects of Lactase Enzyme Drops

Like all medicines, Colief Lactase Enzyme Infant Drops can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most babies tolerate these drops well, as they contain a naturally occurring enzyme that supports normal digestive processes.

The most commonly reported side effects are generally mild and relate to the digestive system. These typically occur when babies are adjusting to the supplementation or if the drops are used in higher quantities than recommended. If you notice any concerning symptoms, you should explore other options in our indigestion support range or consult your healthcare provider.

Mild changes in stool consistency or frequency
Temporary increase in gas or wind
Slight changes in feeding patterns
Occasional fussiness during initial use
Minor digestive adjustment symptoms
Rare allergic reactions to inactive ingredients
Temporary changes in sleep patterns
Mild skin reactions in sensitive babies

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
