Colief Infant Digestive Aid announces sponsorship of International Lactation Consultant Association Conference

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - From July 20-23, 2016, the dietary colic supplement Colief Infant Digestive Aid will showcase its support of the breastfeeding community as a sponsor of the International Lactation Consultant Association Conference. The ILCA Conference provides a learning environment for lactation professionals, midwives, child and family health nurses and other advocates who assist mothers and babies while breastfeeding.

At the 2016 ILCA conference, Colief Infant Digestive Aid will be prominently featured at the opening of the exhibits as they support this year's ILCA focus of "Celebrating Baby Friendly in the Hospital and Beyond: Helping Families Thrive Worldwide," a message that promotes breastfeeding across a multitude of platforms and builds support for these moms.

Many mothers today are breastfeeding for the health benefits it provides to both baby and mother. However, an estimated 23% of infants will experience colic, which may often be the result of their inability to digest the lactose that's in most milk, including breast milk.

Colief Infant Digestive Aid breaks down the lactose in milk and is one of the only over-the-counter colic supplements that treats the milk before the colic-associated symptoms (excessive crying, gassiness and fussiness) happen. The brand is considered by many healthcare professionals - from pediatricians to pediatric gastroenterologists - as a first line of defense to help relieve colic-associated crying by simply treating the milk first and changing nothing else.
