Although we exclusively breastfeed our baby, from 20 days old he started having intense colic, reflux, and constipation! BioGaiA helped us a lot, from the first week we saw a difference, especially in the reflux! One day, if we didn't give him the drops, the colic and constipation returned! The reflux was reduced, but the problem was not completely eliminated! Now that we are in the third month, we stopped using the drops because his gastrointestinal system has improved a lot! It also contains vitamin D!
Courage and patience to all parents facing similar issues!

I don't know if it works or not. What I do know is that it is an extremely expensive product, with 5 ml costing 16 euros. The issue is that it is poorly made and the last 2 ml do not come out of the bottle!

  I read the reviews and was afraid it would be difficult to give it to the baby because the drops don't drip... You just need to shake it well before use and they flow perfectly!!!! I have a 17-day-old baby and from day 12 colic started (exclusive breastfeeding) he doesn't cry, he struggles a lot and whines every 2 minutes 24 hours a day. We started today with 5 drops a day, one before each meal X5 meals... And from the first drop the baby stopped struggling often... I will update in a few days but for now I am completely satisfied and if this is indeed the result it is worth every last € !!

  It is the worst I have ever bought .. 2.5 weeks I gave it to my baby every day without any improvement from bad to worse from colic instead of helping! It's a shame because it's very expensive, I'm writing the review so that new parents don't waste their money.

  Well...

  It is very expensive.

  There are times when I give it to the child and he screams, and other times when he calms down... placebo??

  It doesn't drip!
  Yes, yes, because you shake it... it fizzes and DOES NOT drip no matter how you position it... I mean,
  you have the baby crying
  you also have something that doesn't drip... And you want to throw it out the window.

  I give it in drops, 2 or 3 times a day.
  Oh! And did I mention that it doesn't drip?

  Helped our baby with constipation. Immediate results and we didn't have to change the milk. The only problem is the packaging. The dropper is very poor, it's already difficult to give drops to a baby, let alone with this bottle that drips very slowly

  It helps quite a bit. Of course, colic is something that will run its course, so we didn't completely avoid it, but in combination with a belly massage, we had very good results. When I didn't use it, the baby struggled a lot.

  We were given it by the pediatrician for constipation in a newborn and I can say that it did the job. I give it 1 star for the UNACCEPTABLE packaging, is it possible to try to put 5 drops in a baby and not have it fall at all? Whoever thought of this bottle should look for another job. UNACCEPTABLE.

  We have been using it since the baby was... The doctor gave it to us for colic... The truth is that we didn't notice any difference in the child, as we thought, if we don't give it, how will it be? But we gave it anyway. But now that he has grown up, if he takes antibiotics, we give him 5 drops preventively, so that it doesn't upset his stomach and cause diarrhea, and in case of diarrhea or if his intestine gets addicted, gastroenteritis, etc., we give him 10 drops and in 10 days he's fine... For his age and for gastrointestinal problems, it's fine... We take it constantly the same... Not to mention that now he wants to take it like a game... Because it doesn't have any taste... It's like oil... Because it contains oil, that's why it says it needs to be shaken well before giving it. Also, wherever it falls, it leaves marks like oil...

  Our baby had colitis after taking antibiotics and had bloody stools for a month. These saved us and the child recovered within 2-3 weeks. Also, since starting to take them, he stopped having hiccups after meals. Excellent product!
  The negatives are, of course, the price and the bottle. Although it theoretically lasts for a month, after 15 days the drops don't come out at all. If they changed the packaging, it would be perfect

  I used it on a newborn with colic for over 1 and a half months. The condition had worsened and one day I decided to stop using it to see what would happen. The baby, after 5-6 days of discontinuation, was a different baby, stopped crying, was not struggling, and was fine. I believe that this specific product caused this damage to us.

  Excellent!
  At first, due to its price, we bought another product that made the situation worse. We decided to try this one since it was recommended by our pediatrician and our baby immediately calmed down. The doctor's instructions were to give 5 drops per day, 1 before each of the 5 meals of our choice (I mention this as an alternative for those who claim that following the instructions on the box, which is 5 drops in one meal, didn't help the child). I give them during the afternoon feedings when colic usually occurs, and the baby (2 months old) hasn't been bothered again.
  I would buy it again even though it's expensive

  Very expensive product that doesn't promise to do what it says - at least for us who were giving it every day, as the product claimed. The baby was crying just like before we started giving it. For us, it was a waste of money.

  I will agree that it is ultimately a useless purchase and very expensive. I don't know who this product worked for. We, however, did not see any difference. We bought 3 bottles and noticed that on the days we didn't use it, our baby slept better. Now what can I say... it probably works differently in each individual's body, like most products. It's just that when you have a baby crying and fussing often, you try everything...

  The worst thing ever! Both of my children were screaming in pain as soon as they took it. Especially with my older one, I didn't think about it in time and I gave it to them for about 20 days... As soon as we stopped, the baby immediately calmed down.

  I bought the drops for a 1.5-month-old baby with mild colic symptoms, after being encouraged by the pediatrician. One day after starting the product, the baby cried with sobs, his bowel movements decreased, and he remained sleepless for several days as we continued taking it.

  Starting from 15 euros for 5ml, which means a price of 3000 euros per liter. All of this in a miserable container where the drops fall randomly, even with the mentioned tilt in the instructions.
  If there is no strict doctor's recommendation for this specific probiotic, I see no reason to purchase it

  If you read the instructions, you will see that before use, we must shake the bottle and then tilt it at a 45-degree angle to put it in a spoon or directly in the baby's mouth.
  This way, the drops fall normally.
  Also, we should not put it in hot milk!

  At first it helped us, but then maybe our body got used to it and it didn't do anything. The downside is the price and the fact that its oily texture makes it difficult to wash the bottles!

  Now whether it's a coincidence or not, I don't know. The baby cried every day for about 3 hours without us being able to calm him down. As soon as we started giving him this, the crying stopped. Now he is 3.5 months old and we will gradually stop giving it to see how it goes.

  The only negative thing is the relatively expensive price compared to the quantity, but if it does the job like in our case, then it's worth even double the money!!

  Our little one had colic and it was recommended to us by the pediatrician. It helped our little one after 10 days, just as the pediatrician had told us. The price is a bit high for the quantity, but it doesn't matter since our baby calmed down. The drops fall easily from the bottle as long as it has been shaken well and the two phases have been mixed. This didn't give us any trouble at all, as I had been afraid after reading comments that it falls with difficulty. At least we didn't encounter any problem with this.

  I give it 4 stars because we started using them from the first days and I don't know if they helped prevent colic or if the baby wouldn't have had colic anyway. One pediatrician said that's why we got them, the other said they don't have any other effects and we can stop using them. We are almost 3 months old and I continue giving them to him because I'm afraid that his calmness is due to these drops. Once this month is over, we will stop using them. They cost almost 20 euros at the pharmacy!

  I don't understand where you say that the drops don't run. On the contrary, they run quickly and you have to be quick to catch them before more than 5 fall! It requires a good shake before each use.
  It helped with my child. It doesn't work miracles, but we saw some improvements. 4 stars because it is very expensive for such a small quantity.

  The 3 stars because it is expensive for the amount in ml! However, I will say that fortunately the negative comments did not affect me and I bought it because at least it worked for my baby! Whoever expects colic to disappear by magic is mistaken, they just decrease! In combination with the gel from frezyderm, Dr. Brown's bottles, and novalac premium milk mixed with a spoon, it worked for us! Where there would be crying and fussing for 4 hours, it became 2 at least, and that was something because the situation was desperate! As for the bottle, the drops fell just fine, there are many worse ones like altion D3 that don't fall for any reason and you have to shake it!

  It was given preventively to a newborn and it seems to have helped somewhat in having a schedule and not being troubled. There were no side effects. At 4 months we stopped it without any problem, so the whole story might have been a placebo. The bottle/dispenser is very expensive and tragic.

  It is easier to win the Joker than to get a drop out of this thing. Unacceptable! I spend over 20 minutes every night trying to get these desired 5 drops out!!! I don't know if it works because my little one is now 7 months old and the only reason we got it is as a precaution in case the fibers from the foods we started giving her bother her, etc. Otherwise, as a newborn who had a big issue with colic, we gave her Galenica Aquasol Kolicare Probiotics, which I am very satisfied with, but unfortunately it was out of stock last time, so we ended up with this garbage. Everything is expensive, but at least they should be worth it! This is not worth it.

  It made a big difference in the next meal! From the comments I read here, I didn't have high expectations, but in combination with Dr. Brown's bottle, we believed it was the ultimate combination against colic.

  However, in the third week, we noticed that not only did the baby not calm down, but he cried for a longer period of time during the day.

  We are now conducting a test and have stopped giving them. After several days, the baby was calm in the early afternoon. It may have been a coincidence, but we will continue like this.

  Regarding the packaging, the instructions state that you put the drops in a spoon and pour them directly into the bottle with warm milk. For this application, the dropper is at least good.

  I came back after the test.

  We have realized that although it is not stated on the packaging, the drops are not for daily use.
  We had stopped them for 3 days, until then everything was fine and calm, on the 4th day the colic started again, so we gave the drops again and the baby slept peacefully.
  We are still trying to find the number of days we should give them. Probably by the time we find it, the colic will have passed.
