Probiotics for infant colic in breastfed babies
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a probiotic (friendly bacteria) to see if it can reduce crying and fussing in babies with colic. It is for exclusively breastfed infants 8 weeks and younger who have colic symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a probiotic (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) can help reduce crying and fussing in breastfed babies with colic. If your baby is 3-12 weeks old, has colic (cries or fusses 3+ hours a day), and is mostly breastfed, this study may be an option.
This study tests if a probiotic supplement called BioAmicus Complete can help babies with common digestive issues like colic, reflux, constipation, or loose stools. It might be a good option if your baby has these symptoms and you haven't used other probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This trial tests whether probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri (a specific friendly gut bacteria) can shorten how long a baby cries when they have colic. If you join, you’ll keep feeding as usual and track crying in a diary across several visits.
This trial tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can reduce excessive crying and colic in healthy, full-term newborns. If your baby is healthy and born at UZ Brussel, this study may help find a gentle way to soothe colic.
This study tests whether a dietary supplement or a low-dose product can help relieve infant colic and stomach discomfort. It's for babies up to 9 months old who cry a lot because of colic.
