I am breast-feeding “on demand”, every hour or two. Should I still use four drops of Colief® at every feed?

If you are feeding this frequently, you may find it convenient to express approximately half a cup of fore milk* and store this in a refrigerator. Pour a few tablespoons, warm it to body temperature, add Colief® and give this to your baby before each feed. If the feeds are small – say 50ml each – you may be able to use only two drops of Colief® per feed. *It is worth remembering that most of the lactose is concentrated in the “fore milk” at the commencement of every feed.
