I'm delighted to tell you that my blog, Mummy Memories has teamed up with

Nelsons has launched
NEW Nelsons Colica Colic Granules, a homeopathic medicinal
product used within the homeopathic tradition for the symptomatic relief
of colic in babies over one month of age.
Colic
is a medical term for excessive and frequent crying in a baby who
appears to be otherwise healthy
and well fed. It usually begins within the first few weeks of life,
but often stops by the time the baby is four months old and by six
months at the latest. In most cases the intense crying occurs in the
late afternoon and the baby may clench their fists
and draw their knees up to their tummy or arch their back.*
Nelsons gives the below tips to help parents comfort a baby who has colic.
- Try soothing baby with a gentle rocking by walking round the house while holding them. You could also try taking them out for a ride in the car as the vibration, noise, movement and change of scenery can be soothing.
- Give your little one a gentle massage on their stomach.
- Try giving your baby a colic remedy like Nelsons Colica Colic Granules, a homeopathic medicinal product used within the homeopathic tradition for the symptomatic relief of colic in babies over one month of age.
- Hold your baby close so that they can hear your heartbeat to help calm them.
- Your baby spent months bathed in a warm amniotic fluid so try a warm, peaceful bath.
Nelsons
Colica Colic Granules contains a unique formulation of 30c potencies of
natural Citrullus colocynthis and Dioscorea villosa.
Nelsons Colica Colic Granules costs £5.80 and is available

* If you are concerned about your baby’s symptoms or their excessive crying you should seek advice from your GP
