My one month old is quite gassy, making him very unsettled so we want to try Infacol. I’m just wondering what others’ experience is with it? Also, do you add it to their feed - I bottle feed - or give it to them orally before a feed?
Thanks.

It’s honestly amazing 😂 so it’s just a full dropper in their mouth before every feed. It’s orange flavoured and our little one loves it.
It needs to be before every feed and the more regular it is used the better the effect.

We used it lots and did seem to settle his sickness but we found one his digestive system was more established at 6 months it stopped having much effect I think he just needed it when he was tiny

Although not its intended purpose, we have found it really helped with our bubba, both for gas and regular pooping (he was having constipation issues). He is now regular and although still bubbly its a lots easier for him to get them out.
As Elle said, 1 full dropper in the mouth before each feed. We try to leave approx 1min between dropper and start of feed to make sure he has actually swallowed it before he gets any kind of milk. Btw they often look disgusted when you give them the infacol because its not milk, it's quite funny :)

I tried it with mine and it made her worse I think the orange flavour is acidic x

We’ve been using it since last week Tuesday and it’s been amazing

We tried it and yes it brought the wind up but it gave our baby terrible acid reflux so we stopped it immediately

Thanks so much everyone. The midwife told me to put it in his bottle - has anyone done this?

We found colief better, just add it to bottles

It’s amazing !!!!

Just started using it and noticed lots less straining and easier burping x

We tried infacol and found it did help with burping and he did so more easily - but think made the acid reflux worse, because the orange in it is acidic

yes we’re currently using it and definitely think it’s helping! We’ve been putting it in the bottle as was finding when giving it to her before she was spitting a lot of it out

Get it! You can do it both ways I tried orally and she didn't like it so I started putting it in my daughter's bottles. It also helps amazingly with their wind xx

We used infacol and used to get him to suck it through a spare bottle teat before his actual bottle... we definitely saw an improvement.
After a while it didn't seem as effective so we moved on to dentinox colic drops.

I put my baby on infacol and it made her have really bad diarrhea to the point she was crying going to the toilet.
Suppose all babies are different. It's worth a try

it took a 2-3 days to see the difference with his bubbles and poops, no more screaming for hours as he tries to move them .... on about 10 days now and if anything his expression with each dropper is getting more disgusted with me haha x

we've had a similar experience, whenever we use it, he's sick after a feed

this. I used it with both mine xx

it was awful! My little boy doesn’t cry often but he screamed unless he was drinking milk so I guess the milk was cooling on his throat - bless him xx

Infacol made reflux a big issue for us, we preferred dentinox drops, helped sooooo much with winding. And immediately took any bubbles from the milk

Infacol was amazing for us. It came with a little syringe that you just squirt in his mouth before a feed!

We found it helped with our baby's trapped wind but affected his latch - but if you're bottle feeding that won't be an issue for you 🙂

I added to feed as he was spitting bits out and I wasn't sure how much he was actually swallowing. Worked for us! Did have to up dose after a few days to 2 lots per bottle (states this is fine if needed on the bottle) 😊
