Here’s what our customers
are saying:
This oil has been a
lifesaver for my colicky
baby boy. It seemed as if
there was nothing that made
him feel better until this
oil. I often walked him for
hours in the middle of the
night. My mother in law
purchased this oil, and wow,
do I love her more now! He
still has his fussy times,
but this oil seems to settle
him right down!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF
MY HEART!!!

Here's a tip for new
parents:
What is Colic? Colic
is the extreme end of normal
crying behavior in a baby
between 3 weeks and 3 months
of age. The amount of crying
defined as extreme or
excessive often differs
according to the personal
standards of a particular
caregiver. However, health
professionals generally
diagnose colic when a baby
is otherwise healthy but for
more than 3 weeks cries more
than 3 hours a day, more
than 3 days a week, and with
greater intensity than is
typical for the age. It is
very difficult to console a
baby once an episode of
colic has started.
Colic, like normal crying
behavior, usually peaks at
about 6 to 8 weeks of age
and then gradually goes away
on its own between 8 and 14
weeks of age. Doctors
sometimes call colic
exaggerated infant crying
behavior.
What causes it?
Evidence suggests that colic
results from a combination
of a baby's sensitive
temperament, environment,
and immature nervous system.
These factors can make a
baby cry easily and have
difficulty stopping once he
or she has begun. As babies
grow and develop, they are
better able to regulate
crying behavior. The
frequency and intensity of
crying will gradually
decrease after about 6 to 8
weeks of age.
Colic is not related to
health conditions, such as
digestion problems. Rarely,
excessive crying in a baby
first diagnosed with colic
is later found to be related
to cow's milk protein
intolerance, fructose
intolerance, transmission of
medication by-products
through breast milk, or
other health problem. Also,
temporary symptoms, such as
abdominal gas, can make
crying episodes worse.
Smoking while pregnant may
increase the likelihood that
your baby will have colic.
