4.Did you find the user instructions easy to understand?

Yes, extremely simple and easy to find on the product.

5.Do you think the product was easy to use?

At first it was difficult. I breastfeed so I had to pop the drops directly into her mouth and I would miss sometimes. It got easier the more times I did it. I think a pipettes would be easier or a squeezy bottle.

Are you interested in or have you tried probiotics before? Tried for myself, not for a baby

Were you aware of this product before trialling it? No
Did you find the user instructions easy to understand? Yes
Do you think the product was easy to use?
No, and this is why I really disliked it. Having to have five drops was a real pain (why not one) as well as having to shake the bottle first. I use drops for vitamins and it's just one drop which is much easier for a breastfeeding baby.

Are you interested in or have you tried probiotics before?

No, I had never tried Probiotics before now, I now wished I had, as they’ve been amazing and a godsend.

What other products (if any) have you tried or considered trying to relieve colic?

I have tried colic drops, both Infacol & Dentinox. I only found that Dentinox was a little more successful & soothed my baby better than Infacol.

Were you aware of this product before trialling it?

I will be honest, no I wasn’t aware of it.

Did you find the user instructions easy to understand?

Yes, they were very easy to follow & I had no issues with them at all.

Do you think the product was easy to use?

Yes, the product was easy to use, I sometimes breast feed as well as express milk, so I expressed some & dropped some into my baby’s bottle and making it a morning routine, it all worked out well.

Do you think the product was easy to use?
Fairly easy - but giving the drops on a spoon was a bit hit and miss. (My baby is only two months old though - am sure it would be a lot easier with an older child!)

1)! Are you interested in or have you tried probiotics before?

Since trying Biogaia we looked online and have also tried ProVen, but this did not appear to be as effective.

2. What other products (if any) have you tried or considered trying to relieve colic?

We have tried Infacol, gripe water, colief. Someone recommend we try optibac, but we haven't tried this.

3. Were you aware of this product before trialing it?

No we were not.

4. DId you find the user instructions easy to understand.

Extremely easy.

5. Did you find the product easy to use?

Extremely easy to administer and the drops came out so easily in comparison to her vitamin d drops. My baby even liked the taste of the drops.
