Colic Calm

Does anyone else use Colic Calm? We started around 3 weeks old and it has helped tremendously...besides staining everything.

However, we were wondering when we should start waning him off? He will be 3 months in two weeks and technically colic lasts until 3 months. If anyone uses this or had a colicky baby...did you find this to be true?

Thanks!

We have been using Colic Calm for our son since he was about 5 weeks old. Unless its unbearable during the day, I only give it to him at night. It is SO messy, but I have found it very helpful as well!!! I think I'll try and wean him off it around 3 months since like you said, colic is supposed to subside (crossing fingers). I'm a little scared to do this.....but I guess I'll try and see how it goes!! :) Plus, it is SO expensive. But $20 a ottle is worth my night time sanity.

Are you only giving it when he's obviously upset with a tummy ache? Orare you using it more as preventative? I give my dd it, but only when everything else, like comforting, bouncing, etc, don't work. I think if you are just using it when really needed then there's no need to wean until they get over their reflux... However, if you are using it more as preventative, I would just slowly take the dosage down until you are only giving it after symptoms occur.

Thanks everyone!

Colic Calm was actually referred to us by a friend who had a really colicky baby...we then asked our peds and she mentioned that it was gripe water/gas drops so she was fine with us introducing it. 

At first we were using it when he got really upset, but now we use it during bedtime and it's more preventative. We realized that once he got really upset it was harder to give it to him (it can really make a mess) and it would take a while (20-30 minutes) before he would calm down. Now, bedtime dosage and maybe once or twice during the night and he is calm and we all sleep better.

BUT, I think I will start lower his intake and watching to see if he is doing better. And if so, once our last $20 bottle is gone, we will move on.

Again, thanks everyone for your feedback.

We still use mothers bliss brand gripe water for hiccups 20 months because it works immediately. I like this brand better because it doesn't have to be refrigerated.
