For a baby around 3.5 months old, the usual dose of BioGaia Protectis Drops is 5 drops once daily, given directly or mixed with a small amount of breast milk, formula, or water. It contains the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, which supports digestion and may reduce colic or gas. Shake the bottle well before use and avoid adding drops to hot liquids. The supplement should only be used if medically needed and recommended by a doctor. The dose may be adjusted based on the baby’s health and needs. Follow the paediatrician’s instructions for use and storage.

If your doctor prescribes this medicine, do not give more than the recommended dose and do not use it without confirming safety for a 3-month-old, since the box says it is for children 2 years and above. Always consult your doctor before giving it to your baby.

Before giving BioGaia Protectis drops, shake the bottle well and give 5 drops once daily, at any convenient time, either morning or night. The drops can be given before or during feeding by placing them on the breast, in breast milk, or on a clean spoon. Do not mix the drops with hot food or drinks, as heat can reduce their effect. If you are unsure about timing or your baby's colic, consult your doctor for the safest advice.

If you have accidentally given your 2-month-old baby around half a bottle of Protectis, it's essential to seek medical attention immediately. While Protectis is generally safe and well-tolerated, providing a significantly higher dose than recommended to such a young infant may lead to digestive discomfort or other unexpected effects. A paediatrician will be able to assess the situation correctly and advise if any monitoring or treatment is needed. It's always best to consult a doctor in such cases to ensure your baby's safety.
