Home Remedy For Colic

Mylicon drops, gripe water and Babies Tum-Ease are three examples of home remedy for colic that your doctor may recommend.

Mylicon drops are an FDA-approved home remedy for colic. Most pediatricians are recommending this product for infant use. However, some do not under special circumstances, so it is always important to consult with your pediatrician first. Mylicon drops are used to help expel gas. They are similar to Gas-X for adults. Like any other product, be prepared for the possibility that this product may not help. However, if you notice that your baby is suffering from gassiness that is causing him distress, it is an option to try.

Gripe water such as colic calm is a home remedy for colic that originally came from England and is now being manufactured in the United States. It is often given to colic baby in order to soothe their stomachs. It contains two simple ingredients: ginger and fennel. Ginger and fennel have been shown to be beneficial for easing nausea and pain due to stomach upset, even in adults. This product contains no fillers, binders, artifical flavours, artificial color, yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, or starch. Therefore, some professionals will recommend it over some of the other products that are manufactured for the same purposes, such as Babies Tum-Ease.

Babies Tum-Ease is a home remedy for colic that is sold at many organic grocery stores. Like gripe water, it contains ginger and fennel, but also contains dill, kosher vegetable glycerin, and sodium bicarbonate in a base of filtered water. The label on the product indicates that these botanicals are carefully harvested to their optimal potency and that they are either cultivated without the use of chemicals, preservatives, herbicides, pesticides, fumigation, and irradiation or harvested wild in their natural habitat.
