Joy says,

<< As far as my understanding goes with this, these drops are not really any
 good for giving to baby directly, ie not designed to be used this way. They
 are designed to be put into a volume of milk and allowed to act over a
 period of hours, eg overnight. >>

You are absolutely right, Joy.  That's what the directions say.  The funny
thing is, it WORKS when given to the baby -- a drop or two in the baby's mouth
just before nursing.  I generally have the mother give one drop before each
breast though most often at this point she's only bf one side per feeding.
Mothers have been amazed at the difference in their kidlets -- it's been one
of those things where the stools were yellow, not green, but it was the last
thing we could think of.  Mylicon drops did not help; Lactaid drops did.
