I have been giving this for a week and have noticed some difference. However, I now think I have been giving it incorrectly (EBF). I was expressing a little milk (like, 5 mls) thinking it just needed the milk as a carrier to get the 4 drops into Ds's stomach. I thought it then worked on the milk in the stomach once he had fed. I know think (havin gread instrcutions and website again) that it breaks down the lactose in the milk before being fed, hence you are supposed to express off most of the foremilk (which is lactose-rich), treat it witht eh Colief, then feed thsi to your baby.
Can anyone confirm which is correct? I don't want to be going to all this trouble if I am wrong, as I had been keeping some milk in the fridge to put the Colief in, then feeding as normal, which maybe didn't work. Arrggghhh, its all so hard!
