Colic Calm Infant Gripe Water for Colic, Gas & Fussiness, 2 fl oz (60 mL) | Liquid Dietary Supplement for Babies, Helps Soothe Upset Stomach, Gas, Reflux & Hiccups, Free From Artificial Additives

This is only my first day using this product and will update accordingly but I have had such positive results already I just had to share. My son is almost 4 months old and has gotten increasingly more difficult as he's gotten older. Very VERY gassy baby. Cries and writhes in pain on the regular. I've literally tried just about everything, change of diet (breast feeding), trying formula (milk allergy sensitive formulation), gas drops (4 brands), gripe water (this is the 3rd brand), tummy massage, heating pads, all the calming baby washes on the market, a new swing, I even resorted to sticking a device up my baby's bottom to relieve gas... Literally to see little to NO affect. Do you know how much money I've spent? A lot. But it would be worth it for just a moment of relief for my poor little dude. So after my last failed "miracle cure" didn't pan out I found myself browsing Amazon as I usually do at the wee hours of the night when my son is finally asleep. Looking, searching for that cure. That magical potion that will give him some relief. I was starting to believe I would never find it and I was going to just continue to suffer and cry with him day in and day out. THEN. Then the heavens opened up and showed me this product with all its glowing reviews. I thought WHY NOT I have tried everything else. What harm could it do. With not a ton of optimism I added it to my cart at 3 days later, today, I got it in the mail. Let me tell you about how my day went. It started as a typical day. My light and fussy sleeper awoke at 6 am thanks to his daddy's phone ringing. The crying and fussing began. This kid has a shriek you wouldn't believe and it is like insta-migraine inducing. I have 2 other kids so he is left to cry more often than I'd like, but hey my other kids have to eat too you know? So crying crying crying. Rock Rock, set down, crying some more. Stresssssssed out mom. All the usual things. Nursed him, burped him. Later I gave him a bottle. Burped him. Gas drops. More crying. Then 11:30 came around and the mail lady (or my guardian angel) drops off the package and I literally immediately tried it. I was perplexed by the black liquid, tasted it (as I always try out things on myself first) was surprised it tasted really good then in it went, into the fussy baby's mouth. He drank it up happily (thank goodness) and GUESS WHAT! ***Here's where the good stuff starts so if you've been skimming you want to start reading now. *** He was HAPPY!!!!! Like seriously instantaneously happy. Big huge grin on his face. I brought him out to his father and showed him how happy he was. He farted around with dad watering the flowers for 45 minutes then I took him, took my usual deep breath before nap time (because it's usually a battle) and laid down with him. I nursed him and HE FELL IMMEDIATELY ASLEEP!!!! What?! Who is this baby?! And you know what else? He didn't wake up when I moved! So he slept for a good 45 minutes and then woke up super happy and smiley. This was his entire afternoon. In the evening I dosed him again as a preemptive (at this point I'm still cautiously but happily skeptical) and just GUESS WHAT. I know, I keep making you guess what happened BUT IT IS JUST SO UNBELIEVABLE. He farted, burped, all that stuff that usually really pisses him off without any issue. Just did it like a normal person. But that's not even the best part. The best part. The part that made me have to write a review right now is this........ He laughed for the first time tonight. HE LAUGHED. Do you realize how huge that is?! My son was so comforted he was able to laugh when he wanted to. And it was a glorious sound. So at this moment in time, less than 12 hours from unboxing and using the product, I am a believer. I AM A BELIEVER. Could this seriously be it?! I realize this could all be a giant coincidence. That's the natural skeptic in me. BUT. At this moment in time I am a believer that I have finally found the holy grail of baby potions. I am so elated you really have no idea. Or maybe you do. Being screamed at by a tiny person for hours and hours for days and months on end does something really screwed up to one's head. I don't wish it on my worse enemies. So the thought of having something that might actually lessen the crying for even a moment is pure gold. BUY. THIS. PRODUCT. Just try it. I wish I had 3 months ago, I may have been able to enjoy my newborn had I used it then.

When i started to realize that the constant crying and sleepless nights with my newborn and first born was not normal i talked to our pediatrician who started treating him for acid reflux (GER). After fighting with our insurance to cover the prescription for Previcid in the first place, the struggle then became trying to get the medicine down. I already had a baby who was not eating/gaining weight and there i was giving him syringe after syringe of water trying to get the "not so soluble" tablet in his system. the whole experience was leaving me uber stressed and feeling like an exhausted failure. I came across the website for colic calm while looking for homeopathic treatments touting to provide acid reflux relief as well as colic. honestly i am not big on the idea of giving my kid something that our pediatrician had not even heard of but with the FDA stamp on it i felt somewhat better about trying it. At first i wouldnt say i was all that convinced but by the end of the week he was sleeping and eating like never before. suddenly the crying seemed managable like i had expected going into parenthood and the fact he was really eating for the first time made me feel a lot better about myself too. my husband was not so sold on giving the credit to the colic calm until we ran out and the delivery from amazon was delayed. 24 hours after his last dose and we were back to being up all night with a screaming baby. couple things to note from what i read in other reviews. first i was prepared for the staining everyone complained about but really havent had a big problem with it. yes is is messy, and if you drip it directly on something and just leave it- yes when you wash the item you will get a faint gray stain but even that is hardly noticable. most of the time even his white onsies dont show a stain. i have yet to see it stain skin. usually i will feed him after ward to wash it out of his mouth. otherwise the charcaol shows up in his drool for a bit. poop is a hideous color with distinctive specks of charcoal but dont let it alarm you, 24 hours off it and poop goes right back to normal. use the syringe that comes in the box. give a little bit at a time (takes me about 5 squirts to give him the 1/4 tsp dose) and choking is not an issue. i also point it toward his cheek so that it doesnt just go down his throat gagging him. When i tried an eye dropper type dispenser he gagged it all back out. Now he really doesnt mind getting his dose and even smiles through it. at this point i am no longer giving him the prevacid and using only about 2 doses a day- sometimes more if he gets the hiccups (which go away instantly when you give the colic calm) or he is fussy. one bottle last about 3 weeks.

Life saver! Emergency use for constipated cries that would just not go away. definitely cleared the baby’s stomach would suggest to anyone with colic or constipation issues

All my babies get bad gas and get really upset and fussy and don't sleep too well because they wake up with gas. I discovered this with my third child, but due to the expense, I only used it very sparingly, so it didn't help much, but it gave relief when I used it. Now, with my 5th child, I decided it would be worth it if it gave my son relief. I have only used it mainly in the evening before bed so he gets a better night's sleep. When he was younger, like a few months old, he would get horrible bouts of gas every night and wake up a ton throughout the night fussing, sometimes every 10 minutes it would seem or anytime I put him down. I would give him colic calm and he would usually burp, fart, spit up, and poop within 10 minutes. Sometimes all of the above. It was crazy and he would be so much better. Someone had mentioned constipation, but with my babies, it had the opposite effect. They would go potty and feel better. I started giving it every night whether he would get fussy or not and he would have a much better night. I had tried (to save money) to only give it to him when he had a problem, but if he seemed to be doing fine and not gassy, inevitably he'd wake up throughout the night with gas and it was better to just give it to him before he had a problem rather than once he was in pain. It also makes him go to sleep. Sometimes when he's fussy and overtired and just won't go to sleep or wakes up every time I lay him down, if I give him colic calm, he goes to sleep within about 10 minutes typically and it's a life saver for me. Sometimes it's taken 2 back to back doses, but no more than that. If he's still fussy after a half hour, I give him another dose and it does the trick. I love that it's natural, or atleast mostly natural, and it works. Amazon seems to have the best price (at the moment) anywhere with their 2 pack. My son is now 5 months old and I've almost used 2 bottles, so it's worth it to me. He's a very happy baby overall!

This stuff is black and can be quite off-putting for people that don't realize how this stuff is different. I purchased this after realizing my poor baby had terrible gas and would writhe in pain to try and release it. I noticed that this gripe water, unlike all the others, had charcoal as a main ingredient. A few years back, I purchased some homeopathic charcoal pills for myself to combat the terrible gas pains I would get while flying (who knew? Flying gas is a thing). Anyway, they totally worked for myself. I figured it would be a good idea to try it on the bubs. This stuff did help. It dealt with his gas, for sure. Unfortunately for us, he had colic, as well. All I can tell you is that his gas pain was lessened. He, however, continued his colic crying up until 3 months. This is NOT a cure-all. Honestly, though, I'd ditch the simethicone drops (which I found out only made gas bubbles combine into larger bubbles which, HOPEFULLY, would be easier to pass orally- not even helping the gas that formed in the digestive tract). If you know your baby has a gas problem, use this stuff! Also, my son seemed to really enjoy the taste. He would be quiet for the few seconds it took to feed it to him, lol. This stuff can stain, though, and look absolutely shocking on a burp rag- so just beware. The price can be steep, too. It's definitely worth a try, though, if you're reading this at 3 am, surfing with a few free fingers while you juggle your screaming baby in your arms. Take a deep breath- it doesn't last forever- you WILL sleep again- get whatever help you can- and SOLDIER ON, parent! Much love and empathy to you. Being a parent is the hardest job you can ever have.

I wish I could give it 0 stars! We gave it to him at about 9 pm. I was very excited. I waited, I expected him to calm right down. but he didn't. He still fussed. I thought it was just taking him longer. After all sometimes these things don't always act as fast in all people. So we waited longer. Then, it was bed time. But still, he didn't calm. So we took to the exercise ball, and strapped on the baby carrier. And nothing. He was fussy and very jumpy. You've heard of restless leg syndrome... his legs were jumpy like that. For hours we walked, bounced on the ball, burped, snuggled, swapped out with daddy, laid under blankets, out of blankets, in the dark, in the living room,...while we were in bed I had him laying on my chest, and I thought to myself "god, its like he is having seizures!" I got really scared. I started watching him. His eyes were open, and he was jumpy, kinda shaky. I wasn't sure if he was awake or what. He has been known to fall asleep with his eyes open...but all the movement...it was odd. and he seemed to be in a lot of pain. He was crying. and moaning the whole time. and screaming. That started almost as soon as I gave him the colic calm. It was frightening. Because I was so sleepy myself it took me awhile to put the pieces together. I think he was in a great deal of pain and crying from the stuff, but had fallen asleep, and was having very vivid dreams, hence all the movement and eyes open. I finally decided to try to wake him up and give him a bath, to help sooth his tummy. It worked...while he was in the water. As soon as we pulled him out, he was screaming again. So, we got the tylenol, his old gripe water and the phazyme. I gave him a dose of tylenol, gripe water. I put all of these meds in a bottle nipple together and he just sucks it down at the same time. With in minutes he was feeling better. Which I guess means he didn't really need the tylenol, but, I wasn't sure what kind of pain he was in. Honestly, it was horrible. And to make matter more frightening, I had also given my older daughter some for her tummy! So as I am laying in bed with my baby on my chest, thinking he is having seizures, my head then turned to older daughter upstairs in her bed and what in the world is going on with her. All night long I had been hearing her cough, cough, cough...then nothing. My mind was at the worst case possible... I had dh go check on her. Happily she was fine. as soon as I am done typing this I am going to dump that crap down the drain. I hope to never ever see my baby or any ones baby suffer like that again. All natural does not mean all safe. My father is a physician assistant and my mother is a mental health RN, they have warned me about that many times. I am so mad at myself right now. All natural does not mean all safe....

Let me just start this off by saying, I have four children and it wasn't until my third child that we discovered this product. Oh how I wish we'd had this when I had my twins (they were my first). All of my children had such uncomfortable gas. I always felt so horrible. No matter what I ate, it always seemed to affect them negatively (I nursed all my children). I avoided broccoli like it was the plague! Then when my daughter was just a couple of weeks old, we heard about Colic Calm. I was immediately put off by the price (it was $18 a bottle at that time). And not knowing if it would work, I was very hesitant. But let me tell you, this was absolutely one of the greatest purchases we've ever made as parents. About 10-15 minutes after administering the first dose we noticed a huge difference in our little newborn daughter. She no longer had to scrunch up in pain and scream because it had calmed her tummy. We did end up having to use double the dose most of the time with the kids but with it being all natural and stating that it was fine to do on the box, we didn't feel like we were harming out children by doing so. The other great thing about this product is that it can help to ease the discomforts from acid reflux. None of our children experienced this but I have had several friends that we've recommended this product to (because of the aloe) and they came back telling me how it made a HUGE difference for them. Obviously if your baby is uncomfortable from something else, like teething, this isn't going to help. It's meant to help with gas and acid reflux and that's just what it does. Sometimes it can be hard to read the baby's signs as to what's causing their discomfort. The great thing about this product is that you don't have to feel guilty giving it to them even if their discomfort ends up being caused by something else because this is all natural and can be used right from birth. We now give this product to all new expecting parents because it's just that awesome. I was so thankful that someone had recommended this to us and I now recommend it to anyone and everyone who will listen. It saved us a LOT of heartache and not having to listen to our babies be in pain. I'd use it again in a heartbeat! Just don't let the dark color throw you off. It will make the stools dark but it's completely normal. If you know this ahead of time and prepare yourself for it, it's really not such a shock and won't be so bad. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I bought this for my 3 week old son who seemed to have horrible gas and colic-like symptoms. When you're up with a screaming baby, you're willing to spend whatever it takes to help calm them! We've tried a few different methods (Mylicon, Equate gas drops, Bioron Cocyntal Drops, etc.) with no luck. Colic Calm is NOT cheap by any means, but I was willing to try it due to all the rave reviews. First, this stuff is black...which is really weird to feed your baby. It will stain your baby's clothing, so you have to be careful. Also, it can leave your baby's lips speckled with black stuff...not cute if you're gonna be showing him off. Secondly, I think this product is really hit or miss. Sometimes it seemed to work, but most of the time it seemed like it did nothing for him. The few times it did seem to work, it seemed to put him to sleep. Not sure if my little guy had tuckered himself out by crying or if it really did settle his tummy, allowing him to sleep. I think maybe if your little one has some gas, it may work. But if you're dealing with a milk protein allergy/sensitivity or real colic...you may wanna skip this and head straight for the Alimentum formula! The one thing Colic Calm DID do was stop my baby's hiccups! My little man gets hiccups frequently and can be pretty powerful, and this stuff always gets rid of them asap.

Very good

Absolutely amazing stuff

Best options to complement if medicine (simethicone) didn’t work with your baby colic.

Did not work for our baby. Neither did any of the other available wind mixtures. Paediatrician said just takes time for digestive tract to mature.

Excellent product, effect quickly and over the days the baby reduces cramps. It has a slightly sweet taste.
