How to use Colief?
Hi,
My LO is recovering from a stomach bug and I am pretty sure that his loose nappies and the fact that he seems to be uncomfortable (whinging much more than normal) is due to a temporary lactose intolerance. I'm thinking of using colief for a brief spell until his digestive system improves and wondered how you go making up bottles?
I have some bottles in the fridge which I made up last night before going to bed. Am i right in believing that when I am ready to feed LO I remove bottle from fridge, warm it up, add 4 drops then wait 30 mins before feeding him? Don't want to waste the formula I have made up.
Thanks for your help xxx

Obviously you must have your reasons, just wondered what they are? xx
I've got it into my head that he may be lactose intolerant as it's been almost 12 days since he contracted viral gastroenteritis and his diarrhea has yet to clear up. It's got better but still quite watery/mushy at times. He's find in himself though, jusr a litle whingier than normal. I've read that lactose intolerance is common with this illness. I've rang NHS Direct who had advised that I see the GP tomorrow and take a stool sample for checking so gonna do that. Thanks for your input xx
Did your friend have to supply a stool sample or did they prescribe her little boy with soy milk from the symptoms she provided.
Thanks again x
it was 3 years ago my friends lo had it so im not sure with all the new research if it is still treated with soya milk or not. hope your gp helps x
"Colief contains lactase, an enzyme naturally occurring in our bodies that helps break down complex sugar lactose found in milk, dairy products, breast milk and infant formulas." - So ???in theory it should help with lactose intolerance too...I think?!
whatever route used i hope your lo is better soon x
I'm going to see the doctor's tomorrow and get her advice. He's had a watery stools twice today and his last one before bed was solid (remains of his lunch in it!) which leads to me to believe more that the v. runny ones are the aftermath of his morning milk bottle.
Will hopefully know more tomorrow. Thanks ladies xx
