colic medicines?

soon2b6 · Sep 24th, 2009, 11:31 AM

I was wondering if anyone had any colic medicines that are any good? My HV thinks Holly's green poos are due to colic (we have addressed the fore/hind milk thingy)
She recommended Infacol, but it was never very good with my other children, might try it though?!? So I was wondering, is there any new wonder treatment that will take away all our woes?? LOL.

Hi,
You could try Dentinox or colief a little expensive at £10 a bottle but if u go doc's u can get it on presciption
Hope this helps

infacol, drops and gripewater didnt work for Mylo.. the only thing that works.. and he is on still.. is infant gaviscon. But its only available on prescription. Ask you doc. Its a sachet of powder you add to each feed if FFeeding or mix with water if BFeeding.
Since he has been having it the poos are no longer green and I dont have a screaming baby anymore

Green poo is a sign of wind problems.

Infant Gaviscon worked well for Abby too, if she wasn't too bad but we also used Colief which made the most difference.

We also took her to a chiropractor which certainly helped her wind better.

We use infacol and colief, and it works a dream

do you have a quick letdown of milk? i have a quick letdown (also called overactive) and it can result in green poos and isabel being windy. I get round it as much as poss by draining off the flow before letting her latch and winding her 2 or 3 times during a feed...now we probably get one green poo a day and the rest are normal colour

I use regular ol gripe water, and ovol gas drops... and massage clockwise on belly and leg pumping work wonders.

we used infacol, colief, gripewater, baby massage, dr brown bottles.

we found that out of all of them the nurse harveys gripe water worked best for alex
