Stressed? Try Homeopathy.
Your baby has colic, and you have had many a sleepless night, pacing your home, bouncing a crying baby up and down and perhaps shedding a few tears as well. As a result, I'm willing to bet you're pretty darn stressed.
Doulas-Do You Need One?
I tried to approach childbirth with an open mind--I had an easy pregnancy; hopefully labor would be the same. If I needed an epidural, fine, but I would try to go without. As anyone who has given birth knows, it's great to have these "ideas" but one needs to go with the flow.
Determining the Correct Dosage
Every baby is different so a little trial and error is sometimes needed. On the box is says to give up to 1/2 teaspoon but many babies find relief with just a 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon. I [Cyndra] would start out by giving Colic Calm on an "as needed basis", as the baby starts to cry.
Babies and Hiccups--What Gives?
