There are a few home
remedies that have proven
to help babies with
colic. All of these are
herbs and before using
them you should talk with
your baby's physician.
1.) Bryonia alba will
help if your baby is
irritable and shows signs
of constipation.
2.) Chamomilla helps when
your baby is cranky and
will not stop crying.
This soothes the baby
that wants held
constantly.
3.) Colocynthis should be
used for infants with
severe colic. If your
baby curls up in a ball
and seems to be in pain,
this is the best herb for
relieving the pain. |

4.)
Magnesia phosphorica works great
also if your little one shows any
sign of relieve when you place
something warm on their tummy
such as a hot water bottle.
Pulsatilla is also good for
irritable and cranky babies. You
can purchase some colic drops
from your local grocery or retail
store. These drops do work and
will help your little one sleep
peacefully and you can find them
in the pharmacy area of most
grocery stores. You can also
speak with the pharmacist and he
can recommend which drops are
better. Remember, before you use
any type of herb or medication
you should consult with your
baby's physician. Taking turns
caring for a colicky baby may
also help not just your sanity,
but also can soothe your baby.
Each parent holds the little one
in their special way and can
comfort them differently.
