Here's some guidance on when and how to give BioGaia Protectis (Lactobacillus reuteri, 100 million CFU) to a young baby with colic:

• Timing of Administration
  It is generally best to give the probiotic at a consistent time each day to help establish a routine. Both morning and night dosing can be effective, so choose a time that fits well with your baby's schedule and is easy to remember.

• Relation to Feeding
  Administer the drops during or immediately after a feeding. This helps the probiotic pass through the stomach more gently and may improve its effectiveness and tolerance.

• Dosage and Preparation
  Use the dropper provided to give the exact recommended dose of 100 million CFU. The drops can be given directly into the baby's mouth or mixed with a small amount of breast milk or formula if needed. Ensure hands and utensils are clean to maintain safety.

• Safety and Monitoring
  Always consult your pediatrician before starting any probiotic, especially in very young infants. Monitor your baby for any changes in symptoms or possible side effects, and report these to your doctor.

• Additional Tips
  Alongside probiotics, continue gentle soothing techniques for colic such as swaddling, rocking, and ensuring a calm feeding environment. BioGaia Protectis has a good safety profile in infants and may help reduce colic symptoms over time.

If you have any concerns or if symptoms persist, please consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
