Colic question

6 Replies

I hav started my little boy on colief today to try and help his colic. I hav previously been using gripe water and cool boiled water....shall I stop them now and just use colief or keep up with the others as well?

The cooled - boiled water should be fine to continue using but I'd probably give the "gripe water" a Lil' rest just to see how well he copes with the "colief" then at least you'll know which one works better.

Thank u tht is what I thought as obviously the water is just water. Hopefully it helps. .will find out in the coming evenings when his screams frm colic usually occur xx

Ur have to let us know what u think I'm really curious to see how good it is x

So far touch wood we hav had no screaming uncontrollabley. I started giving it yesterday at midday. So far had 5 doses. His screams usually happens in evenings...had a bit of a grizzle but nothing like b4 so hopefully might b helping him.

Hope colief does the trick for him! Why are you giving him cool boiled water? They say that it's not necessary with breastfeeding... I'd continue with the gripe water when you feel he needs it x
