One Mom's Story: Christina and Baby Braydon

When Christina was 23 weeks pregnant with her third child, Braydon, she went in for a routine ultrasound and learned that he had a pocket of water on his kidney. Wanting to closely monitor it, her doctor decided that Christina should have a sonogram every four weeks. Each time she went in, the “cyst” doubled in size. When Braydon was born, the doctors performed a sonogram on his kidney and it was found that the “cyst” had completely overtaken his left kidney and the kidney could no longer function. Since then, Christina has learned that Braydon has polycystic kidney disease, and that his kidney does not just have one cyst, but multiple cysts, and it will have to be removed sometime before his first birthday. As a result, Christina watches everything that Braydon ingests like a hawk, and when he developed colic, she made sure to research everything on the market in order to find a remedy that was both safe for his functioning kidney and effective for the colic. Christina says, “Braydon was a very gassy and cranky baby.  He would cry unless you were holding him and would have constant pressure on his belly . . .” Life is no fun with a baby who is always crying, so Christina turned to the internet to see what was out there that could calm Braydon. As a result of him having polycystic kidney disease, she says, “. . . I was not able to give him any other gas medications.  All the other medications had preservatives, and other things that I don’t even like to give to my baby that doesn’t have any issues. . . I was a lot more cautious with Braydon, because I don’t want to harm his good kidney in any way.” Then she found Colic Calm. Christina says, “My daughter Elyssa had also had some kidney issues, but I did not know about this product (I wish I had!). But, I have learned from her what to stay away from.” And there’s nothing that needs staying away from in Colic Calm. Christina states, “I looked and looked online for things that I could do to help him and finally came across Colic Calm and went out and bought it the next day!  I am just sad I didn’t know about the product sooner!!! I do not know what I would have done if I did not find Colic Calm.  It has been a life saver.” Starting when Braydon was two weeks old, Christina would administer Colic Calm after feeding and before bed, and he would be soothed instantly. At interview time, Braydon was three months old and still receiving doses of Colic Calm. As Christina says, “I hate medicating my children so I do everything possible to keep them healthy with the most natural things possible.” We’re so glad Colic Calm is helping you with that goal, Christina.
