18 Oct 2021 --- Chr. Hansen’s Bifidobacterium, BB-12 may help soothe infants with colic that “excessively” cry or fuss. A new study found that these babies taking the strain for 21 days slept about one hour more than the placebo group. “The study suggests that BB-12 supports a reduction in excessive crying. In fact, the outcome of our study showed that nearly three times as many infants in the BB-12 group saw a reduction after 21 days, compared to placebo,” says Dr. Cathrine Melsaether, senior clinical development scientist, Chr. Hansen.
