7.    About infant colic

When babies feed they produce gastric juices and acids. These acids can curdle milk which can trap air bubbles and lead to colic. The air bubbles may stop the natural movement of food down the gut. Dentinox Colic Drops gently disperses the air bubbles. The released air can then rise to the top of baby's tummy and become a satisfying burp.
