Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to mix Colic Calm with other medicines or products that baby is taking?

As with all supplements, it is important to ensure that your doctor is aware of the use of this product. Always check with your doctor if your baby is taking other medications or is being treated/has been treated for serious health concerns.

Are the supplements in Colic Calm safe for babies?

At what age can my baby start taking Colic Calm?

Colic, gas and fusiness usually become evident in babies from as early as two weeks of age. Most parents of two-week-olds have found it best to start with just a few drops, gradually adding more if needed (not to exceed the recommended dose). For such young babies, a few drops is all that is usually needed to provide relief* within minutes.

Can Colic Calm be added to formula or expressed breastmilk?

Ideally, Colic Calm is best given "straight." It seems to be most effective when administered on its own. Most babies really like the sweet taste of Colic Calm. We encourage parents to taste it themselves! However, parents of very finicky babies have found that their little ones prefer to have it mixed into a small amount (1 or 2 ounces is plenty) of supplementary formula or breastmilk. The taste may then be more familiar and comforting.

Can Colic Calm be used for anything other than colic?

You can use Colic Calm when baby experiences digestive upset that accompanies teething or when introducing new foods that may cause gas pain or upset stomach. It may assist to relieve indigestion, bloating, and flatulence and treats hiccups quickly.* In addition, a great number of parents swear by Colic Calm for natural relief of spit up.

Does Colic Calm carry any warnings or information statements?

Follow instructions on dosage amounts. Standard warnings are indicated on both box and bottle label. Keep out of the reach of children. As with all supplements, ensure that your doctor is aware of the use of this product.

Does Colic Calm help from the very first use for all babies?

Many babies will experience relief within minutes after taking Colic Calm.

The chamomile in our formula soothes gums sore from teething. Saliva in teething babies produces an enzyme that upsets their stomachs. Additionally, babies cry a lot when teething and tend to take in more air, making them gassy and irritable. This can cause even more crying, and so the cycle continues…until Colic Calm comes to the rescue and may help to provide relief.

In most cases, you will see results in three to five minutes. While each baby is different, most remain comfortable for several hours.

What is the best way to administer Colic Calm?

Babies love the naturally sweet taste of Colic Calm. Most babies swallow easily when the included dropper is placed between the gums and cheek towards the back of the mouth, and the fluid is dispensed slowly.

What is the best way to get out spots or stains?

We have left Colic Calm's rich dark color as Mother Nature intended, without any "pretty" coloring to alter its purity and efficacy. While the microfine particles of vegetable charcoal do not contain any dye, they can get lodged between fabric fibers and may require gentle manipulation to loosen. That is why we have included a staining warning on bottle and box. We do find that stains/spots lift out easily with any of the spray stain removers. OxyClean works particularly well and is available in most grocery and drug stores. If your baby has very sensitive skin, make sure to wash clothes or linens twice. You can now find the new OxyClean Baby Stain Soaker at Babies R Us and Target. This is the best option, since it is 100% free of fragrance, chlorine, detergent, and dye, and won't irritate your baby's sensitive skin. For stubborn stains, try pre-spotting with dishwashing liquid before washing. Please keep in mind that the possible inconvenience of spot removal should be insignificant compared to the relief of your baby's pain.

What is the difference between Colic Calm and Tummy Calm?

Colic Calm is blended specifically for babies and will help with Colic, Gas and Fussiness. Tummy Calm is for 12 months+ and toddlers and will help with Gas, Fussiness, Upset and Nervous Tummies.

What makes Colic Calm different from other supposed colic relief formulas?

Colic Calm gripe water provides safe, gentle relief* for discomfort from gas, stomach upset and colic. Colic Calm contains eight all-natural, allergen-free supplements and is specially formulated to ease the pain and discomfort commonly associated with colic.* Our formula does NOT contain alcohol, sugar, sodium bicarbonate, binders or fillers, yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, animal products, or any artificial flavors or colors.

What role does the vegetable charcoal play?

The key ingredient in Colic Calm is charcoal, or carbon, as it is called, is the most abundant element on Earth. Carbon is an important element; the human body is composed of 18% carbon (65-75% of the body is water). It works by a process called adsorption (this is different from absorption, which means to incorporate or assimilate a substance). Vegetable charcoal is an inactive material which passes through the intestines without being absorbed itself. On its way, it collects toxins and wastes via adsorption. It also adsorbs gases, thus relieving flatulence, bloating and gas pains. It is fully excreted in bowel movements and will darken stools. Because it is not a drug, it has no direct action on any organ of the body, it does not enter the blood stream, nor is the vegetable carbon itself absorbed into the body. All of it passes out of the body system naturally and easily, along with the gases and toxins it has collected on its journey.
