    Infants friend... How much?

    Hi ladies... This will sound dumb but on the bottle it says 10-15 drops.
    Is that a daily allowance or per feed?
    Thanx

    Their website seems to have a lot of info regarding dosage and how often etc. It says it can be given before, after, and between feeds, so it can be up to 6 - 7 times a day, but usually 3 - 4 doses is all that's needed. That's at 5 - 10 or 10 - 20 drops per dose. Check it out yourself though as I'm only relaying what it says, I've never used it. And nope, you don't sound dumb at all

    Thanks guys. Once again I wish I'd followed my instincts. I should have treated W for wind from the start instead of asking health nurses every visit what they think

    1/2 tsp so much easier than drop counting. Thanks Sue

    If you find it doesnt work then Brauers Colic Relief is also good. We found the infants friend made DD worse and her poos were rotten. Once 1 month old Infacol is the best stuff.

    Cool thanx. I just bought a dropper but it has 1/4 and 1/2 tsp measurements too

    Will use it and see how we go, I can start the other at end of next week if it's no good.
