My 2.5 month old baby seems to have colic phases. What should I do?

30-year-old woman3 years ago
For a week now, the crying moments have been occurring at the end of the day and in the evening. He is fed with formula since his 7th week of life. Before I was breastfeeding him. He is now 11 weeks old.

I'd like to know if it's ok to give Green Mouse colic drops please? Or if there is something better?
Thanks :)

Good evening ma'am,
The problem of colic is very common and tends to resolve spontaneously around 3-4 months of age and would not usually have any long term consequences in the child. I never recommend the Green Mouse products. In fact, most natural or homeopathic products have not been shown to be effective or safe. Have you ever tried non-pharmacological measures? Here are some examples:
  • Adopt a calm environment
  • Take time to rock the child or perform tummy rubs (clockwise)
  • Make sure to limit air intake from the bottle and burp well afterwards
  • Hydrolyzed casein formulas for the baby can sometimes be helpful. What type of product?
I hope I have answered your question. I look forward to hearing from you.
