Newborn Colic (Colic Calm)

S

Hey there! Just sharing some info that I found to be a life saver for newborn colic (pre 1 month)!

DS is now 3 weeks old and has been suffering from colic since wk 2. As he’s too little for the mainstream colic meds we searched everywhere to find a solution... I highly recommend “Colic Calm”, it’s a US medicine but can be found in certain chemists in the UK (https://www.coliccalm.co.uk/instructions.htm) it really has helped settle DS and I’d be lost without it! It’s a max of 4 doses per day but we’ve only been using it once or twice max when needed in 24 hrs as opposed to before every feed like most other colic pain meds out there and it works so well.

As DS is formula fed, we’ve also been giving him Caraway Seed water with every other bottle - just bring water to a rolling boil, add a teaspoon of caraway seeds and let steep for 30mins - strain and use along side water for their bottle. It’s the only natural way we’ve found of helping his super early colic. I hope this helps someone - I now know the pain of sleepless nights, but we’re getting there!
