Lucie was a fussy baby. I’m convinced she had colic along with her reflux. Nathan on the other hand wasn’t fussy, but his reflux was a hundred times worse. He could projectile vomit and did large spit ups 30 to 40 times a day. (I’m not exaggerating – we kept track for the doctors.)

One of the things I tried for Nathan’s reflux, but not Lucie’s colic was gripe water which is recommended for baby gas, along with colic. I gave up on it when I used it on Nathan since it didn’t help with reflux. However, I’m not sure why I never tried it with Lucie. Maybe if I had know about Colic Calm, I would have given it a try.

Colic Calm is a homeopathic gripe water that calms a fussy baby who has gas, colic, tummy pain, and they claim even even reflux. They also recommend it for teething.

Colic Calm gripe water contains NO alcohol, sugar, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), simethicone (another thing I tried), herbal oils or extracts, citric acid, or artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. Also, there is NO wheat, gluten, soy, starch or dairy in our formula, which is very important when it comes to allergies.

The Best Book for the Fussy Baby’s Parents

I highly recommend The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer by Harvey Karp, MD. He gives parents strategies like swaddling, jiggling, holding sideways, swinging, and using white noise.

The Happiest Baby on the Block was a lifesaver for me. And I hope you find that with Colic Calm gripe water and Dr. Karp’s techniques you’ll have a very happy baby soon.
