Dovamil Gentle+
Relief from Colic and Gas
Special infant formula scientifically designed to reduce crying, gas, and fussiness. Clinical evidence shows significant improvements within 24 hours.
What is Infantile Colic?
Definition
Infantile colic affects otherwise healthy infants, typically between 2 weeks and 4 months of age, characterized by:
- More than 3 hours per day of crying
- More than 3 days per week
- For more than 3 weeks
Impact & Prevalence
10-30% of infants are affected by colic, making it one of the most common concerns for new parents.
Colic is a major reason for pediatrician visits in the first months of life and can significantly impact family quality of life.
Despite extensive crying, colicky babies typically grow and develop normally, but the condition causes stress for parents and caregivers.
How Gentle+ Works
Four key technologies work together to reduce gas, crying, and fussiness
Low Lactose (14%)
Reduces fermentation and gas production in the gut. Lactose is partially replaced with easily digested maltodextrin.
This lower lactose content decreases the substrate available for bacterial fermentation, resulting in less gas and abdominal discomfort.
HMO Prebiotics (2'-FL)
Human Milk Oligosaccharides support healthy microbiota and gastrointestinal maturation.
2'-FL is the most abundant HMO in breast milk, promoting beneficial bacteria growth and reducing inflammation in the gut.
Partially Hydrolyzed Whey Proteins
Proteins are broken down into smaller peptides for easier digestion and faster gastric emptying.
This reduces the time formula stays in the stomach, minimizing discomfort and the potential for regurgitation.
MFGM & Beta-Palmitate
These lipids improve gut maturation and have been shown to reduce crying time in clinical studies.
Beta-palmitate also improves fat absorption and produces softer stools, reducing constipation-related discomfort.
Clinical Evidence & Results
Scientific studies demonstrate significant improvements in colic symptoms

Study Highlights
Berseth et al. Clinical Study: Infants fed Gentle+ formula showed significant reduction in hours of crying and fussiness compared to standard formula. Improvements were observed within the first 24 hours and continued through week 2.
Mechanism of Action: The combination of low lactose, partially hydrolyzed proteins, HMOs, and specialized lipids addresses multiple causes of colic simultaneously, providing comprehensive relief.
Safety Profile: Gentle+ maintains complete nutritional adequacy while providing symptom relief. Growth and development parameters match those of standard formulas.
