Natural Treatments for Colic Babies
Does My Baby Have Colic?
Colic is comfortless, crying where the baby cries wretchedly for hours or constantly for days. Babies cry a lot, but colic is a different type of crying. Statistically, 25% of babies show signs of colic. The cause is unknown.
The symptoms of colic:
- Crying loud and piercing
- Tummy is tight
- Squirms and flex legs
- Clenches fingers making fists
- Symptoms appear close to three weeks old
Colic starts when the infant is about three weeks old and lasts possibly until three months old or longer.

Homeopathic Remedies
-
Chamomilla - I gave my daughter Chamomilla and found it worked well with her. It treats symptoms that flare up suddenly and ends off just as quickly. The baby gets angry and frustrated with the tightness in the stomach and gas. The baby cries, and it is hard to comfort with restlessness. They squirm, finding a comfortable position by arching their back. The stools appear green and unpleasant.
- Pulsatilla - I did not give my daughter most of these homeopathic remedies because colic has different effects on babies. She didn’t show any symptoms. They are hiccoughs shortly after eating and a noticeable rumble in the belly. Though the baby is uncomfortable, being in mommy’s arms while gently rocking the baby is consolable. The face has small veins, and the skin appears like sheer marble.
- Nux Vomica - Your baby is constipated and pushes bard for each bowel movement, though stool is soft and mushy, but not always. They like to be warm and get angry with trying to comfort or help them. A stuffy nose accompanies the symptoms.
- Lycopodium - Babies are restless, brow wrinkles like a worried look, and a touch of anxiety. They agonize from the trapped gas. It gets worse later in the afternoon or early evening. Warm compresses or warm hot-water bottles ease the discomfort if they pass gas. Eczema and cracks behind their ears sometimes appear.
- Colocynthis - The baby responds to the firm pressure on the abdomen, lifting the baby to the shoulders, creating a light pressure on the tummy. The position relieves pain and crying.
- Magnesium Phosphoricum - Keep their knees to their chest, which helps the bloating and gas. They form a good burp, and all settle down.

Probiotic Benefits
I stumbled across interesting and helpful information about Colic, which categorizes high on the list of medical paradoxes. A study came out of Italy and is helping babies and mothers.
Colicky babies are inclined to have a lower number of probiotics in their digestive systems. Ninety colicky babies are treated with daily drops of either a probiotic known as L. reuteri or simethicone drops. Simethicone is a well-known treatment for gas.
After the treatment using simethicone drops, less than five percent of the babies still had discomfort. It means, most of the babies receiving the probiotic barely had any colic symptoms after seven days. The good news is that more doctors in Italy are using this treatment. But there is no report that U.S. doctors are using this treatment.
Keep in mind, L. reuteri is a trustworthy probiotic found in most yogurts. I hope to hear about further testing because there are other varieties of lactobacillus that could develop into a colic treatment of the future in the U.S. and other countries as well.
Take into consideration. It is essential to discuss these treatments with your doctor or another medical professional.
