As a parent, the word “overreacting” isn’t in your vocabulary. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The instincts you develop can keep your baby safe from harm.

When it comes to colic, the months of constant crying can have your internal mommy alarms going off at every turn. While a colicky baby is cause for concern there is no need to worry. Call your pediatrician, but in the meantime, calmly gain control of your emotions.

Take a deep breath. Your baby is not in any danger. Colic is often caused by an immature digestive system that is quite sensitive in baby’s early months of life. Their systems are still new to the outside world.

Taking turns watching baby may be a good thing for you with a colicky baby. When you need a break, ask your spouse or significant other to let you get a few hours of sleep while they take over for you. Just a few hours to yourself can help you deal with the symptoms of colic better.

What can you do for your baby at this time? For breastfeeding moms, your child’s pediatrician may ask you about your diet. Sometimes, spicy foods or fiber-filled veggies can overpower a baby’s delicate digestive system.

Monitoring the types of foods and drinks you have can help to reduce the incidence of colic. Stay away from eating too much broccoli and cauliflower. Drinking coffee can over-stimulate baby and make them fussy and irritable.

Babies can present with a distended, hard belly because of the build-up of gas and bloating that can accompany colic. Herbal tea can help as a home remedy for relieving abdominal pain, flatulence and indigestion. Choose teas that contain peppermint, lemon balm and chamomile. Breastfeeding moms can drink herbal teas to pass on the benefits to their babies.

Many parents have heard about a product called gripe water. It is touted as a remedy for colic in babies. Customers stand by their effectiveness in reducing pain, pressure and gas in babies.

One word of caution: Before using any home or homeopathic remedies for colic on your child, consult your physician. They can tell you what products are safe and effective and able to be ingested by your child.

Another alternative is infant massage. For babies who have a hard time falling asleep, a massage from forehead to heels can relax them. Tender circular movements may work any trapped gas or discomfort throughout their digestive system where it can exit the body.

Colic can be alarming for parents, but don’t panic. Your baby will be fine. When you are calm, you can implement real solutions to solve baby’s condition.

Babies between the ages of 0 – 6 months often develop colic. This could be due to wind or other digestive problems or even the incorrect formula.

Signs of colic include persistent fretfulness and crying (especially after feeds), and baby may become red in the face and pull up his legs to relieve the pain in his stomach.

Colic may become worse when baby is lying down and symptoms can improve if he is walked around. It may also help to lie him over your lap on his tummy and rub his back. Be sure to wind baby properly after feeds.

How can iBaba help?

iBaba (which means “Baby”) is a specially formulated homeopathic remedy which is gentle and effective and safe for use by even newborn infants.

It will soothe your baby’s stomach, help to relieve wind and reduce fretfulness, helping your baby (and you!) to have a good night’s sleep.

Use iBaba safely and easily to:

* Relieve the symptoms of infant colic
* Help your baby to sleep peacefully

How has iBaba helped others?

I am so happy to have found iBaba, it made life easy again – Earie A. Australia

“Please ship ASAP. Thanks! I am a firm believer in this product for teething and irritability.” – Dawn, GA, U.S.A.

“I wanted to write and tell you how good your product is for baby colic. I have recommended it to all my friends with babies!” – Brenda Collins.

“My baby cried all the time and we went from one doctor to the other one. They all said it was ‘colic’ and it would go away after 3 months, but it did not! iBaba has made such a difference, thank you. My baby sleeps peacefully now.” – Yolanda, USA

“We walked up and down with our new baby who had colic so bad she hardly ever slept for five minutes. From the very first time, the remedy worked and I could hardly believe what a difference it made! From a poor screaming baby to a peaceful one in just a few minutes – WoW!! Bless you all for the work that you do!” – Pru Leary, USA

Children’s remedies

Children have problems too! Many medicines for children contain additives, artificial color and preservatives. Some are addictive and others may cause side effects which end up being worse than the condition that they are supposed to treat. Even some of the more natural, herbal medicines should not be given to children under the age of 12, unless supervised by a health care practitioner! Parents are understandably concerned and may feel confused about what they can and can not give their children. As a Psychologist and as a parent, I have seen a need for safe, effective and healthy natural remedies especially formulated for children’s health. Together with Native Remedies, I have spent a lot of time in researching and formulating a range of natural remedies especially for young children. All remedies are herbal or homeopathic and carefully chosen for maximum effect and maximum safety, to safely heal and solve your child’s problem – naturally. While herbal remedies help to heal and promote health, homeopathic remedies work by strengthening the child’s own body to heal itself. The remedies are non-addictive and presented in child-safe doses. No artificial colors or preservatives are used and manufacturing is in accordance with the highest pharmaceutical standards. – Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

Is iBaba safe and easy?

iBaba is easy to administer and is especially designed to be safely and effectively used for even newborn infants.

Unlike many other colic remedies, iBaba contains no alcohol or artificial ingredients and contains only 100% natural and proven homeopathic ingredients.

Dissolve a small pinch of granules on the baby’s tongue at the very first signs of colic for quick relief.

iBaba can be repeated after 20 minutes for up to 10 doses if necessary, but one or two doses usually does the trick!

Improvement should be noted within 5 – 10 minutes

What are the ingredients?

iBaba contains the following proven ingredients in homeopathic formulation:

Chamomilla (6C) is a well-known homeopathic remedy for infant colic and teething.

Mag. Phos (6C) Mag. Phos (6C) is an effective and gentle homeopathic painkiller and is often recommended to safely treat cramping pain. It is suitable for all age groups including small babies.
