Abstract
Compositions contain 6′-sialyllactose (6′ SL) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), for use in the reduction of nociception in an infant or in a young child. The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with infantile colic, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or recurrent abdominal pain (RAP), and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep and the general quality of life of the infants and young children.
