Nestlé NAN CARE Probiotic Drops

“Dropper” major failure!!! – “Dropper” IS THE WORST! When you are trying to breastfeed a colic baby and already stressed and emotional the very last thing you need is a product that actually makes you and your babies time harder and more stressful! Even placing the drops on a spoon and giving them that way is impossible due to the flow being inconsistent! You don’t even get the chance to measure five drops because they all pour out like a tap. Major design flaw that is just screaming to be changed! If you’re going to design and produce a product to make babies and parents’ lives easier then do just that! Atrocious.

Not a fan of design and effectiveness – First of all the bottle design is so bad. It is near impossible to administer. For such an expensive product the bottle design means you’ll most definitely lost quite a bit of product. After about 4 days of use we noticed our boy was eating less, we had no idea what it was. We then traced it back to when he started these drops. It seemed to have given him tummy pain, gas and a bit of diahorrea. We stopped it and used infacol to help the pain in his gut and he started to get better. Really strange because we thought probiotic’s would have no negative effect. I then looked into a study done where the ingredients in this probiotic actually showed results of causing more fuss in babies per day so actually made symptoms worse so I would definitely talk to your doctor first or read into it a little more. For us we definitely thought it was a waste of money and very expensive. The design of the bottle is honestly so shocking

Worst bottle ever! – I wanna kill the bottle and nestle for making it! As if parenting a colicy baby wasn’t hard enough, they give you this infuriating little bottle with something that might help inside and say don’t overdose your kid. You spend ages trying to get one drop out then a million come at once. I have no idea how much she’s getting because it goes everywhere! F&$k nestle and f$&k you arseh&le of a bottle!

Seemed to help but dropper sucks – Our pediatrician suggested these to help with bub's digestion and vitamin D intake as he was not constipated but was having a hard time getting it out daily. The drops do seem to have helped overall but the dropper is absolutely enraging. It either doesn't come out at all or spews out way too many drops. I've found the best method is to put it directly on the nipple when breastfeeding but when you have a crying hungry baby and the bloody dropper won't even get one drop out (mind you this is while the room temperature is warm to hot so the oil should be liquid) you just want to throw the bottle across the room except it's too expensive to waste.

Difficult to administer and ineffective – I was hopeful this probiotic would help after being suggested by paediatrician. Unfortunately, I found it ineffective and it gave my little one diarrhoea. It is difficult to administer with drops either coming out too fast or not coming out at all. It's also impossible to tell how much is left in the bottle. A better designed dispenser would be beneficial.
