Lacteeze Infant Drops 15mL

Lacteeze Infant Drops break down the lactose in milk, breast milk and infant formula, making the milk more easily digestible.

For the first few months of life some babies may have difficulty fully digesting the lactose in milk, causing symptoms such as bloating, excess wind, irritability or diarrhoea. This can be an important factor in some babies with colic.

A common use of Lacteeze Drops is to reduce the lactose content of baby’s feeds. Clinical trials have shown significant improvement in the symptoms of babies with colic associated with lactose intolerance after pre-treating their feeds with lactase enzyme drops. Lacteeze Drops are suitable for breast and bottle feeding.

Ingredients: Lactase 250 ALU per drop, glycerol.

Directions: 

Reducing lactose in cow’s milk:

• Add 4 drops of Lacteeze to 1 litre of milk.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours before use. This will convert 70-80% of lactose.
• To convert more lactose, simply refrigerate for longer or increase the number of Lacteeze drops used to 8-10 drops.

For use in babies’ feeds:

Babies vary in their levels of lactose intolerance, and feed sizes may vary.

The following instructions are a guide only. If baby still has lactose intolerance systems, you can increase the amount of lactose converted by either increasing the number of the drops used per feed or increase the length of time the mixture is left prior to use.

Once conversion has completed, the mixture can be frozen or heated.

Breast feeding:

• Express 2 tablespoons of breastmilk into a sterilised container.
• Add 4 drops of Lacteeze and mix well.
• Give mixture to baby then breastfeed as normal.

Bottle feeding (suitable for breastmilk or infant formula):

• Add 4 drops of Lacteeze to warm feed (not hot).
• Mix well and wait 30 minutes before giving to baby.
• Do not refrigerate.
• Discard any unused feed.

Advanced preparation (suitable for breastmilk or infant formula):

Add 2 drops of Lacteeze to warm feed (not hot).

• Mix well.
• Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours and use within 12 hours.
• Warm to feeding temperature and feed baby as normal.
• Discard any unused feed.
