The period of habituation of the newborn's digestive system to new conditions lasts a long time, and all this time the child can experience intestinal pain. This problem is almost always accompanied by sleepless nights, which negatively affects the health, psyche and mood of both parents. That's why moms and dads do their best to help their baby and alleviate his suffering.
Today in each pharmacy a wide range of medicines is presented, the action of which is aimed at reducing the intensity of intestinal colic, relieving pain and spasms, and also eliminating increased gas production. One of the most popular tools in this category are Baby Calm drops, which you will learn about from our article.
Composition of Baby Calm
Drops Baby Calm belong to the category of herbal preparations used to improve the digestive system of babies from the first day after birth. The composition of this product includes exclusively natural ingredients that have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract of babies, namely:
- anise oil triggers various processes in the intestines and relaxes its muscles, thereby reducing the intensity of spasms;
- Fennel oil reduces the amount of gases produced in the digestive tract and facilitates their removal from the child's body. In addition, this component has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect;
- Finally, mint oil calms the baby and helps him fall asleep.
How to give Baby Cal a newborn?
This product is a concentrate, so before use it must be diluted with warm boiled water to a special mark, available on each vial, and then shaken. According to the instruction for the use of Baby Calm, the prepared emulsion should be given to a crumb of 10 drops before each meal. You can do this differently - some moms add the medicine to a bottle of milk or a mixture, others - give them with a spoon or drip from the dispenser directly into the mouth of their child.
Please note that concentrate after dilution is not subject to long-term storage. If you have already diluted Baby Calm with water, be sure to put it in the refrigerator and do not use it after a month after the breeding.
Side effects and contraindications
Baby Calm has no contraindications to use.
To check this, before the first use of the drug should give the baby 2-3 drops and observe his reaction. If the baby's body does not show redness, flaking or specific rashes, you can give him this remedy in the required dosage.
In addition, in some cases, the allergy to Baby Calm in newborns is not immediately apparent, but only after several weeks of daily medication. Usually this is a symptom of a minor overdose of the drug, so you need to consult a doctor who will advise what it is best to do - to reduce the dose of Baby Calm or replace it with another remedy.
