Summary

This study tests whether a probiotic called L. reuteri can reduce crying and fussing in infants with colic. Fifty breastfed babies aged 3-12 weeks will receive either the probiotic or a placebo daily for 21 days. Parents will track crying time and quality of life. The goal is to see if this simple supplement offers relief.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, natural way to ease colic symptoms in breastfed babies, reducing crying and improving family quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-stage trial with only 50 infants, so results may not apply to all babies. The probiotic may not reduce crying more than a placebo.
