What are Care Co-Lactase Infant Drops

Instant feed lactase enzyme drops to reduce lactose content in breast milk and infant formula.

Care Co-Lactase does not contain sugar, preservatives or flavouring. Feed instantly after adding to both breast milk and infant formula.

Care Co-Lactase Infant Drops can be used for babies who are being breastfed and also those being given infant formula – without interfering with the feeding process.

Lactose is a complex sugar found in milk, dairy products, infant formulas and breast milk. Lactase is the enzyme usually produced by our bodies to break down lactose into more simple sugars so our bodies can absorb it.

Babies' immature digestive systems can have trouble breaking down the lactose in milk into more simple sugars. Care Co-Lactase Infant Drops are suitable for babies from birth onwards for as long as it takes the baby to grow out of their transient lactase deficiency – usually three or four months.
