 Colic Calm |

This product has really seemed to help my 5 week old daughter. She was born fussy but became even more so at about 2 weeks old. I wouldn't say she truly has colic but she never seems satisfied and she does gets extremely fussy in the evenings. She has severe gas and gets the hiccups almost every bottle...those send her over the edge. It does offer immeidate relief of her hiccups.
Sometimes Colic Calm seems to help and sometimes it doesn't. I think when she is truly uncomfortable; it does help. Times that it doesn't help, I think it just may be her personality to be fussy.
One day I ate some leftovers from a resturant and got the worst stomachache so I decided to try some and I had almost immediate relief. I was sold after that. It has a great taste but the color is pretty freaky.
I think this is a good product and I just ordered my second bottle. This is the only FDA approved gripe water, which made me feel more comfortable giving it to her. When I read the ingredients on some of the other gripe waters, I noticed some that aren't exactly safe for babies.
Some of its drawbacks are that it is a terrible color and turns their poop funny colors an stains clothes but being able to relieve some of my baby's discomfort is well worth it. |
Miracle medicine!

| This product is heaven sent!!! It works for fussiness, gas, hiccups, reflux. For my baby it even reduces the AMOUNT of spit up that she puts out. She likes the taste, it works quickly, it's natural, I just love it. Just be careful, it can be a little messy and is a very dark liquid, so be sure to have a burp rag handy when administering. |
A life saver!

| My son screamed for hours and hours every night for about 2 months. Then I found this product and thought that I would atleast try it. After the first dose he stopped crying almost immediately! Since using it he has become a very happy baby. |
Magical potion!

| After researching this product on the web, I decided to buy this for my sister's 3 week old baby who is suffering from chronic reflux. All i can say is that this product is an instant relief for my nephew. I cannot explain how fast & effective it is for him. I knew from prior reviews that it was black in colour & to be quite honest i wouldn't have cared about staining so long as it worked! I also hasten to add that my nephew loved the taste & we laughed at his black happy smile! I will be purchasing more bottles to take back to Italy, it really is a magical potion that I will recommend 100% |
Works Great!

| This product is amazing! We've tried other gripe water products and were so happy with Colic Calm! Like another reviewer, I've found that this has helped limit the amount of spit ups! We had much more than a 'laundry issue' with our 10 week old and this product has really seemed to help her fussiness and allow her to relax and sleep! It is black, so I'm very careful giving it to her - thankfully it's very sweet (I tried it) so she takes it without a problem! The few black specs that I have gotten on her clothes have come out in the wash with a pretreatment. I can't say enough about how happy I am that I found this product! |

| This has been very helpful when our son has gas and an upset tummy. A friend recommended it and we have found it to work quite quickly and settle him. |
Lifesaver!

| Hi I only wish I knew about this product months ago! I just found out about it when my son was over 5 months old. He has had so much problems with his stomach! He just loves the taste and can't seem to drink it fast enough. I have to watch he doesn't choke he goes so fast. My only complaint is that I can't get it in Canada! |
awesome product for upset stomach and gas

| This product is awesome, minus the black color of it! It settled my daughters tummy almost instantly and put her at rest. She was suffering from bad gas after we tried solid foods and it helped so much. I would highly recommend this product for all mothers of small babies |
Works fine sometimes...good product

Unfortunately the product came without medicine dropper. Because the medicine is so dark it ruined all my other medicine droppers :(
Over all nice product. Some times it doesn't seem to make any difference |
Messy but worth it!

| I originally bought this for my first born child who had colic 24/7. He didn't respond to it very well & in reflection I realize there must have been something else bothering him, such as reflux. When I had my second he also was fussy, esp. at night with gas. So I gave this another whirl & he has responded very well to it. He sleeps for longer stretches & his gas is not as frequent. Last night he slept from 10pm to 6:45am - a record! I gave him a dose right before bed & one at 6:45am. He fell back to sleep and slept till 8:30am. Beautiful :) |
good but messy product

| This product helps with my baby's tummy problems, whether it is gas or something else, it doesn't really matter, as this works for any stomach-related issue. However, keep in mind that it is a black substance (because it contains charcoal) and it is very messy to administer and my baby doesn't like it. It stains her clothes and mouth, but it washes away from her mouth fairly quickly (a few hours or so). It does work very well, I have to say, within minutes, so it is worth the trouble. I use it only when it is absolutely necessary due to its messiness. I have tried little tummies gripe water and it doesn't really do anything for stomach issues, it only helps with hiccups and even that doesn't work every time. |
FINALLY!!!!

My 8 week old son has extremely bad colic. After switching his formula to Enfamil's Nutramigen, which is specifically design for colic relief, my son was still extremely fussy & gassy. My husband & I purchesed several different colic relief medicines including Baby Bliss gripe water, Cocyntal, & little tummies gripe water. Unfortunately, none of these really helped my son. We finally broke down & decided to try this product even though it's much more expensive than the other products. All I can say is THANK YOU; colic calm actually seems to be working wonders for my son. His fussiness has noticeably decreased & our nights are much more peaceful!
The reason I rated this product 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the price & it does stain anything it touches. It's a rich brown color, almost black, & if you happen to spill it on any clothing, it does stain. That being said, to finally find a colic relief product that actually works for my son, is definitly worth the price for me!!

| This product worked well and within 30 minutes. It is smaller than expected but proved to be enough. |

| Reviewer: Amber's two cents, |
| This product was average and only worked about 50% of the time. It's black in color as opposed to most gripe water that is clear. It stains clothing and any other fabric it touches which means you have to undress a screaming baby unless you don't care about ruining the outfit. I've heard great reviews about the kinds you buy at regular drug stores for about a third the price and without the staining element. I would give it a worse review but, 50% of the time when you're running on no sleep is better than nothing. |
OK

| We usually try this when we're at our wit's end... Sometimes it seems to help and sometimes it doesn't. Not sure if she just gets tired and gives in or if this actually helps... Tried once with her hiccups... didn't seem to do the trick. Bummer because she seems to get the hiccups a lot. |
Hit or miss?

| I honestly can't say whether or not this made a difference for my baby's reflux/gas or not. It certainly did not work within minutes as the product claims. She would keep on screaming and crying after giving it to her. Nor did it touch her hiccups (that part didn't bother me so much, as her hiccups were not the worst of her problems). The fact that it stains is really really annoying to boot. The black liquid gets EVERYWHERE, and yes..it makes babies' poop very odd looking. I was not a fan of the dropper provided either, it takes a lot of maneuvering to keep oneself from pushing too much of the liquid too quickly--wish it was a "regular" dropper, not a syringe-type dropper. If it did ever seem to kick in, it wasn't until a couple of hours following administration, and it was very inconsistent. All in all, no way of really knowing if the colic calm that helped or if she was doing better all on her own. Like I said, this is really hit or miss. Was hoping for a little more given the stellar reviews. |
I've used better

| Well it seemed like this stuff worked for my daughter, but for the price and the mess i don't really recommend it...it's hard enough to feed anything to a fussy baby and this just makes it that much worse. luckily i have found something that i feel works just was well with little to no mess and for a 5th of the price...Hylan's Colic Pills. i give her two to three doses and she's good to go. they are just little sugar pills that dissolve in the baby's mouth. she tries to spit them out sometimes and if they've started to dissolve that's where it can get a little messy but it's nothing difficult to clean up nor does it stain. good luck to everyone dealing with colic! |
Just Hype

| This did not work at all for my baby, only made his stools turn black. It was a lot of mess giving the dose and no relief from colic symptoms. |
