The FDA oversees all food and drug products. Since Colic-Ease is a dietary supplement, it does not fall into either of these categories. However, in 1994 the FDA set up guidelines for dietary supplements, including labeling requirements, and created the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). Colic-Ease follows all of DSHEA's guidelines.

You can use Colic-Ease again when introducing new foods into your baby's diet that may cause gas pains. It is also effective for adults experiencing heartburn, bloating, nausea or indigestion. Adult dose is 4 tablespoons.

Only the Colic-Ease gripe water is a purely herbal remedy consisting of five essential oils. Each of these oils contain properties that when combined, allow Colic-Ease to address the broadest range of symptoms. Conversely, other gripe water brands rely on the effect of non-herbal ingredients (i.e. sodium bicarbonate or charcoal) in their formulas. You can read more about why we don't use sodium bicarbonate or charcoal for infants in this FAQ section.

Infantile colic was first described as indigestion. While different diagnostic criteria have emerged since then, there has never been complete agreement on what colic is, what causes it, or how to treat it. The most widely accepted definition of colic today is "unexplainable and uncontrollable crying in babies from 0 to 3 months old, more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for 3 weeks or more, usually in the afternoon and evening hours."

No. Once a baby has nursed from a bottle, microorganisms from the baby's mouth are introduced into the formula. If any unused portion of formula is refrigerated and reheated, these microorganisms will have the opportunity to multiply. Neither refrigeration nor reheating will prevent this growth. Therefore, you should fill each bottle with only the amount of formula needed for one feeding. After feeding, if any formula remains unused in the bottle, it should be discarded.

Some experts believe that breast-feeding protects against food allergies developing later in life. Others think that breast-feeding delays the onset of food allergies, rather than prevents them. Still, many doctors recommend that you breast-feed your baby for at least six months if you have a strong family history of allergy. Babies are not allergic to proteins made in the breast. However, a baby can react to a food the mother eats.

It has been widely estimated that between 8% and 49% of newborns suffer from colic, or an estimated average of 22% of all newborns who suffer from colic at some time. The condition is regarded as self-limiting, disappearing spontaneously at three months of age; however, studies have shown that many cases of colic will persist until six and even 12 months of age, causing considerable distress and frustration for both children and parents.

The most common symptom of colic is "excessive crying" -- more hours of crying and more stretches of crying per day than non - symptomatic children. The crying may also have a higher frequency / pitch than normal babies. Other possible symptoms include motor unrest (flexing of the knees against the abdomen, clenching of the fists, and extension or straightening of the trunk, legs and arms).

For years, chiropractors have cared for children with colic symptoms, and with apparently good results. In fact, the benefit of chiropractic for managing infantile colic was clearly illustrated in a recent study that compared the short-term effects of spinal manipulation vs. drug intervention (a drug called "dimethicone").

For information about feeding your baby consult your local Early Childhood Health Centre or your general practitioner (family doctor).

Yes. Disease exposure, including chickenpox, should not delay anyone from receiving the benefits of the MMR or any other vaccine. What is the most common reaction following MMR vaccine? Most people have no reaction. However, 5 percent to 10 percent of the people receiving the MMR vaccine experience a low grade fever and a mild rash.

We have all heard the cliche, "Let sleeping babies lie." It sounds like a lovely idea, but for newborns there is a slight flaw in the logic. A typical breastfed newborn needs to eat 8-12 times in a 24 hour period. That works out to approximately every 2-3 hours. Sadly, some newborns can be very tired as a result of difficult labor or jaundice. It is not uncommon for some of these babies to be so sleepy that they may want to sleep 5-6 hours at a time, especially during the day.

Re-heating is NOT recommended. Discard any remaining formula after 1 hour of feeding to avoid the risk of bacterial contamination. Re-heating may affect the nutritional composition of the formula.

Some, but not all, studies have shown that breast-feeding in the first few months of life may reduce the chance of your baby developing allergic conditions, including asthma. Breast-feeding also reduces the risk of babies developing intestinal illnesses and other infections.

long as it is OK with your pediatrician or other medical professional that prescribed the medication, during the infants normal feeding time is best. The more willing infants are to take their bottle, the easier it is to complete the dose.

Colic occurs in 10-15% of all newborns. It usually begins around 2-3 weeks of age and lasts until 3-4 months of age. Colic is defined as healthy infants who cry nonstop greater than three hours per day, more than three days per week. These infants have rhythmic episodes of crying usually in the evening lasting 3-5 hours. In order to determine if your child has colic discuss with your doctor to rule out other causes of the crying.

Feeding bottles, whether they are angled or straight, need air inside the bottle to replace the milk your baby takes. When your baby drinks, a vacuum is formed in the bottle causing the teat to collapse, restricting milk flow. Unable to receive milk, a frustrated baby's natural reaction is to suck more vigorously which in turn increases the amount of air swallowed.

Again yes, we will give you all the help and support that you need whether you have chosen to breastfeed or formula feed you baby.

You don't have to have a baby to use Milton.

Well, it’s easy. With your free hand put your thumb on top of your breast, and your other fingers below. Don’t touch the dark skin around your nipple because this is where your baby’s lips will be. Touch your baby’s lips with your nipple, until your baby opens his or her mouth very wide and pull your baby’s body close to you. When your baby is latched on the right way, he or she will make low pitched swallowing noises.
