Same! I'm exclusively breast feeding and find it difficult to give him them aswell!

My little boy is 6 weeks old. Never given it to him. I keep forgetting.

I've literally given it once, he's 1 month old, and he spat that out! Xxx

We've got into a routine now as I'd always forget when her Dad went to work - I pump early morning (around 5am) while she feeds then her Dad gives that to her around 9am (I take her out of swaddle and babygrow so they get skin to skin bonding time too) while I get myself ready and get the Vitamin D drops (we put on a little weaning spoon and she takes it fine) and Colic Drops ready. By the time she's nearly finished the bottle I'm ready with it, give it to her and wash it down with boob as she hates the colic drops haha.

@Carys Hey! What colic drops are you giving? We’re using Colief atm. I feel it has helped! But curious to know what other drops people are using and if they’re any good? X

@Claire The Dentinox ones. We've been using them about a week and she definitely finds it easier to burp now. She's still super gassy and can find some farts more difficult but there's improvement. We only do 2 doses a day though and they can have up to 6, but we do first feed in the morning and last feed at night. I've read good things about Colief xxx

Yes I forget! I've put the drops next to the flask we use to warm bottles (I exclusively pump) to remind me!

Forget all the time 😂🙈

I don’t give them! X

Hahahaha I keep forgetting too so I just dumped it in my baby crib where I will always see it.

I feel like they give my baby tummy pain. Like they increase how much trapped wind she has. Maybe I’m imagining things

@Carys Ah ok, good to know! Thanks ❤️ Dentinox is next on our list. It’s like trying to crack a code, isn’t it, this colic! I hope they grow out of it soon!

@Claire That's a good way of putting it! We went for a 3 pronged attack haha - Colic Drops, going Dairy Soy and Egg free (I had cmpa as a baby so entirely a possibility) and Breastfeeding Tea (some reviews said it made gas worse some said it cured colic so it could go one of 2 ways) Fingers crossed our little ones get past it soon ❤️
