Colief drops and breastfeeding?

I am using them at the minute with my little one however I express milk the majority of the time. The guidance that they provide for Colief states to ‘express a few tablespoons of breast milk into a sterilised container. Add four drops of Colief to it and then feed it back to baby using a sterilised plastic spoon’ but perhaps a syringe might be better and then ‘continue breastfeeding straight after’.

I think hand expressing should work just fine since it’s a small amount and shouldn’t cause any discomfort as long as you are gentle whilst doing so nor should it impact your supply x

I just put a few drops on my nipple before feeding but I don’t think my son struggles enough to need the full dose. It definitely makes a difference to him but he was mildly upset with processing lactose not fully struggling so I felt fine to add it to my nipple which I know affects how well it works x

I bought a cup from amazon that collects any leaking milk and usually would use that milk to put any medication in and give it to him through syringe

Thanks everyone and im trying this ☺️ x

are you managing to give the drops with every feed? I don’t see myself managing every feed as I wouldn’t have that much milk leaking into the milk catcher. Maybe one or two feeds in a day ? So is there even a point of me using colief if they suggest every feed?😭 x
