About this study
Official title: The Benefit of Using the Lactobacillus Reuteri Probiotic as a Supplement in the Treatment of Newborn Colic
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri in treating infantile colic as defined by the Rome III criteria. Forty breastfed infants aged from 29 days to 3 months will be enrolled and blinded randomized to receive orally L.reuteri or placebo. The rate of responders (reduction of daily crying time >50% compared to the baseline) will be assessed at day 7, day 14 and day 21 in both groups. The average daily crying time as well as the associated digestive symptoms will also be analyzed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Lactobacillus reuteri DSM17938 probioticDietary supplement
Drops suitable for infants. 2 X 5 drops / day will be issued, corresponding to 2.108 CFU Lactobacillus reuteri living DSM17938. The probiotic is contained in a lipid emulsion.
PlaceboOther
Drops suitable for infants. 2 X 5 drops / day will be issued, corresponding to the lipid emulsion without probiotics.

| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Other: Placebo Receives: Other: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The responder rate (infants for whom daily crying time decreases by 50% compared to baseline, D0) at D7 in the probiotic group compared to placebo. The daily crying time will be sound recorded during 24 hours at D0 and D7.and expressed in minutes.
Measured: day 7
Secondary outcomes (1)
The responders rates at D14 and D21 in the probiotic group compared to the placebo group.
Measured: Day 14 and day 21
