Colief drops


so luisas dreaded colic is back

last time i used the colief she was having expressed breast milk and i added it once it had be warmed..

so i carried on using it as above.. although luisa now has her bottles at room temp.. (i boil the water fill 6 bottles and leave them on side adding formula as needed)

but upon reading the leaflet again (new bottle!) it says to add to formula milk and leave for half an hour then feed...

is there a reason for this?

and if any of you use colief do you do this?

I use colief and I don't wait for half an hour. I think according to HV that the colief breaks down the milk protein, so it could takes half an hour to do this, but I don't bother and it still works.

yh i think thts right.. but then it takes near half hour for her to drain the bottle now so!

i tried infacol but found it didnt work as well as the colief. i think once yr lil ones got colic its harder to get rid of then to prevent iykwim!
