Don‘t just go for ANY TREATMENT... Go for the BEST TREATMENT
Infantile Colic refers to episodes of severe, inconsolable crying in otherwise healthy infants, usually due to abdominal pain, gas, or immature digestion. It typically appears around 2–6 weeks of age and resolves by 3–4 months. The baby may cry suddenly for hours, often in the evening, with clenched fists, red face, and flexed legs. Though not harmful, colic can cause distress for both baby and parents. Homeopathy offers gentle, safe, and effective relief by easing gas, cramping, and digestive discomfort, without side effects.
Causes
- Swallowed air during feeding or crying.
- Overfeeding or irregular feeding schedules.
- Immature digestive system in newborns.
- Lactose intolerance or food sensitivity.
- Emotional tension or overstimulation.
- Constipation or gas retention.
