Colic Calm Infant Gripe Water for Colic, Helps Fussiness, Upset Stomach, and Baby Gas Relief, 1.7 fl oz (Pack of 1)

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.

Works like a charm!!

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.
