Colief® offers a range of gentle products that provide soothing comfort to babies, children and new mothers. Colief’s scientific knowledge and proven expertise in colic caused by temporary lactose intolerance informed the development of Colief Infant Drops two decades ago. Now, the brand offers an extended baby care range.
Colic is defined as repeated episodes of excessive and inconsolable crying in a new-born baby who otherwise appears to be perfectly healthy. The condition can affect up to one in five babies, so you’re not alone.
Infant colic can have many causes. In some cases it is believed to be caused by temporary lactose intolerance. This is because in the first months of life, some babies are unable to fully break down lactose, a complex sugar in breast and formula milk. It can produce wind, bloating and cause discomfort, and one of the main symptoms is inconsolable crying.
Babies are known for their super-soft skin, but they can often develop dry or flaky scalps, particularly in their first year. While cradle cap rarely troubles your baby and may clear up on its own, most parents look for gentle solutions to treat it. Made with nourishing rosehip oil, healing chamomile and vitamin E to protect, Colief Baby Scalp Oil moisturises and soothes your baby’s skin and scalp – naturally soothing the symptoms of cradle cap. It is suitable for use on infants from birth (from full term date).
Having too little vitamin D can be detrimental to the absorption of calcium and phosphorous in the body. This can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children, and bone pain and tenderness as a result of a condition called osteomalacia in adults. Some people get enough vitamin D through exposure to sunlight, but 30−40% of people in the UK are deficient in winter. Colief Vitamin D3 Drops is a natural food supplement providing the reassurance that both you and your baby are getting the right amount of vitamin D, vital for developing strong bones and a healthy immune system.
When it comes to supporting the general health of young children, Vitamin C plays an important role. Suitable for all the family, Colief® Vitamin C Drops is a food supplement rich in vitamin C and is free from artificial flavours, artificial colours or preservatives.
In addition to supporting the immune system and the absorption of iron, Vitamin C also helps with collagen production, which is needed for the formation of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. All important for the development of young children.
Baby massage can be hugely beneficial for baby, improving baby’s sleep, reducing stress behaviours, and improving motor skills development. Another really important benefit of baby massage is that it encourages increased bonding between you and your baby.
In the winter months we often find ourselves surrounded by grey cold weather, so it’s important to make sure we are still getting our Vitamin D intake. Did you know Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body – nutrients that are essential to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy?
