Baby Bliss Gripe Water Liquid
Colic is a common problem in normal, well-developing, healthy children. Although colic is not a disease, it does deprive both children and parents of needed sleep and causes psychological, emotional and physical stress.
Infant Colic has been managed naturally for centuries
In both Europe and Asia, natural supplements have been commonly used for centuries to help babies with colic discomforts.
Colic is often associated with symptoms such as:
Baby stomach gas discomfort
Hiccups
Intense and inconsolable crying
Irritability and fussiness
Sleeplessness
Warning!
Don't hesitate to call your doctor if you are worried about your baby's condition. Call your doctor if your baby:
Cries for more than 3 hours and can't be comforted
Has a temperature over 100 degrees Fahrenheit at under 3 months of age
Appears sick or lethargic
Has green vomiting
Has bloody stools
If you are worried that you might harm your baby
We are happy to report that baby's teething discomforts are often eased by Baby's Bliss GripeWater.
Colic Definition
Excessive crying, by otherwise healthy babies, which cannot be eased by the usual comforting methods, is the most common sign of colic.
Infant Colic - Definition
"A condition where a baby has long episodes of loud and shrill crying, for no obvious reason, is inconsolable, and may become red-faced, tense the abdominal muscles, flex the legs, clench fingers and pass gas - but is otherwise healthy. The condition is often worse in the evening and each episode may occur at about the same time of day."
The "Rule of Three"
Pediatricians often use the "Rule of 3" to judge whether a baby is colicky. That is, crying lasts for 3 hours or more per day and 3 days or more per week for 3 weeks or longer. They say that it often starts at age 1 - 2 weeks and ends by age 3 - 4 months.
What the experts think
Even though infant colic is a temporary condition and not a disease, it places psychological, emotional and physical stress on parents and infants and interferes with parent-infant bonding.
Most researchers agree that colic is quite common. About 10% to 20% of babies are thought to experience Colic, typically between the ages of 2 weeks and 6 months.
Experts agree that there is no consistent, obvious medical cause. Therefore, there is no standard remedy prescribed by American doctors. Many experts believe that there may actually be different causes of colic in different infants.
Teething
Discomfort from teething is another popular use for Baby's Bliss GripeWater Liquid.
Infant Teething Discomfort
There may be a connection between teething and gas pains. This helps explain the effectiveness of Baby's Bliss GripeWater for easing teething discomfort.
Saliva in teething babies produces an enzyme that tends to upset their stomachs. Baby's Bliss GripeWater reduces their discomfort and removes excess gas that they have accumulated from crying.
