Best wishes!

I'm not sure about Colic Calm, but Gripe Water (sold at a lot of places, but I was ALWAYS able to find it at Walgreens...) worked very well for my DD. She had colic, along with some minor reflux, a broken clavicle, and a milk protein allergy as a newborn. My poor baby was absolutely miserable for her first couple of months!

Also... do you breastfeed? I found out that my DD's (along with several other newborns) biggest problem stemmed from a milk allergy. (My DD was allergic to the milk protein...) I cut dairy out of my diet, and within 2 weeks (it does take time for it to get out of your system) my DD was MUCH better! She still had problems, but she was much easier to calm down. If you are nursing your DD, you might try cutting out dairy as well. My DD grew out of her milk allergy around 3-4 months, so I didn't have to go without for very long. :)

Both of my kids had colic so I am well versed in this area. There isn't much you can do to help them accept learn the best soothing techniques possible. The Happiest Baby on the Block can help you with those. Essentially, they are the 5 S's, "shhhh," swaddle, side-laying, swinging, sucking. Those are the five things that soothe newborns best. Also, this website can be tremendously helpful. http://purplecrying.info. Good Luck!

We use Tummy Calm (same brand) and it does. We also use Hyland's Teething Tablets, which is also homeopathic and it also seems to work - used it on both kids.

Oh my gosh, I feel your pain!!! My son had colic so bad, my parents would come over and help just so I could get some relief. (I had the best parents!)

Anyways, I've never heard of this product but something that worked for my son was PEPPERMINT!!! I would hold a peppermint candy and he would lick it and it really worked. They say you can also get the peppermint oil (for baking) and put a few drops in some water and let the baby drink it from their bottle, but I never did that. The candy did the trick!!

But then of course, holding my son, rocking him, walking around, driving in the car, etc., were the main things that really worked.

By the way, I'm assuming you've had your daughter checked by the doctor to rule out anything else.

Good luck!!!

I had 2 colicky babies so I sympathize with you greatly. I found two things that helped in my situation. If you breast feed, you can take refrigerated acidophilus and it will come through your milk. This cut down the episodes by more than half. Im not sure if you could hive it directly to baby or not i would check witj a pediatrician on that one The other thing was peppermint tea. I would feed them about 2 ounces at a time. It helped calm their tummies down.

Good luck.

YES! It was a lifesaver for us! Definitely messy if they spit up so make sure you have a bib on the baby and burp cloth nearby, but I was so relieved to find this stuff. Whenever she'd get colicy and nothing else would work, one dose of that stuff and she'd be out in like 5 minutes!

Worked like MAGIC on my son.
He would fall asleep within 30 minutes of giving it to him every time. I think it was the pain relief that calmed him down.
