Colief question

If you can express a tablespoon, add 4 drops of colief to it, then breastfeed immediately - why can't you do the same with a bottle??
Eg put a tiny bit of formula milk in a cup, add 4 drops, give it to the baby then immediately feed the bottle?
I am bf'ing, but just starting a night time formula feed - it is such a pain waiting half an hour...
Thanks!

It's a right pain isn't it! Exactly why I gave up using colief and kept trying other remedies instead. It's impossible to wait when baby is crying for a feed. It's so expensive to buy and difficult to use but when colic is bad I remember trying everything. I found using a comfort formula which is designed for colicky babies the best way forward for me. Hth.

I hear you, I went through the same thing with my DD & DS. I also did a night time feed and put the 4 drops in the formula, gave it a shake in case it helped. Sometimes it did and at other times it made no difference. For me Colief was my savour. It worked a treat as it made my babies have a big poo & relax right after : ) All the best x
