I bought these for my 6 week old baby who, although breastfeeding well, was going 6 days between dirty nappies and was very windy and uncomfortable most of the time. From day two of the drops she was doing a nappy at least once a day and is much more settled.

Love this product, especially in the current climate as it gives you extra peace of mind that your little one is getting the best start. We have been giving this to our little girl from 1 month, directly from dropper as breastfed. Highly recommend.

I use this for my 4 year old and my 1 year old. Digestion has always been an issue for my eldest so have been through lots of brands - this one worked wonders on my eldest (actual formed stools!) We feed it from a spoon and keep it in the cupboard so no mixing or dissolving in drinks required which makes it easy. Would recommend.
