It is said that mothers know whats best for her child and every time her baby cries, it is her who consoles the baby the best way, no body else can. Shes is determined to find solution's and remedies to every problem that arises and all with the help of mother nature. But Colic in the form of discomfort and pain shouldn't be taken easy and should be treated the fastest and best way in our babies, all with the help of our mother's and mother nature, again.

Many of us already know how often our babies cry with colic pains and it can be very devastating for the entire family who witness the baby's suffering. But for those new parents who don't have knowledge about colic and other acid problems that occur in babies, should you read this article, am sure it will help you a lot to understand your babies cries.

What is colic?
Colic is what occurs to baby as abdominal pains or babies cramps especially when their digestive systems are growing. These mostly occur in babies that went through difficult birth or are either bottle fed or sensitive to cows milk.

Symptoms of colic acid
babies cry for longer periods despite efforts to console.
signs of abdominal bloating and gas discomfort.
occurs during same time day or night, often after meals.
hard tummy, clenched fists, arched back etc..
irritable, fussy and sleepless.

Infant reflux or baby acid is the backward flow of stomach contents into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). Human milk is more easily digested by babies and also baby's breast fed experience less severe reflux episodes than artificially fed ones. This is one of the reasons Human milk is highly recommend because of easy digestion and being emptied twice as fast from the tummy avoids irritation to the esophagus.

Gas makes its way into the digestive systems of babies the every first time they drink either breast or formula milk. Some gas-producing foods, such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes which are passed on from mother to baby can cause infant gas drops which can be of little discomfort to them and this is because the baby’s immature digestive system is unable to cope effectively and is still developing and learning to functionally digest.


A highly recommended medicine is a Homeopathic Medicine, an effective safe and natural way for colic relief.. It is a FDA Regulated Medicine and Completely free of alcohol, sugar, simethicone, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), herbal oils and extracts, citric acid, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, and animal products. Wish all you moms an easy motherhood, and all your babies a colic free babyhood.
