Need advice with infacol

Could anyone help me out please?
How do I administer infacol to my 1 month old?
The bottle it self says to put one pipette on baby’s tongue, but I’ve read somewhere that I can put it directly into his bottle with formula.

Thank you

I put it straight into the bottle and works perfectly fine! You can also put on their dummy as well ☺️ health visitor said to administer it however is easiest

I just squirt it in her mouth. It has a strong smell so I would imagine it would make the milk taste weird

Straight into the mouth and bottle after 🙂

Straight into mouth. And then bottle straight in.

Do you squirt a whole one for your baby? I’ve been doing like 2 drops as was worried too much ?

You can use the dropper as a measure. But neurotic brain wanted accuracy, so I use the colostrum syringe 😅

Thank you! How often do i give it to him?

Avatar

yes, I’ve read the leaflet it said to give the whole pipette just to wipe off the access

before every bottle. I do it in 2 halves as otherwise she spits half of it out 😅 also go as far back as you can

Does any of your babies get dirrahoea with infacol? Mine has been fine, but we’ve upped it to to 2 pippetes and she’s had a really runny bum this morning which is not like her at all!

I use the teat of the bottle- not attached to the bottle just hold the teat in her mouth and drop the required amount of infacol into the teat and baby will take it as they would the milk x
