Each bottle of Baby Drops contains a 30 day supply. For best results give 0.3ml every day, as indicated on the dropper. This is equal to 8 drops daily.
Each 0.3ml (8 drops) dosage contains a minimum of 1 billion live Bifidobacterium breve M-16V®.
Do not exceed recommended daily dosage of 0.3ml (8 drops). If you accidentally give too much to your baby they may become more windy and feel uncomfortable.
