Growing up, my family ensured to tell me the stories of my “baby colic” days. Not only did my mother reiterate how extremely bad I had it and how hard it was those first six months of my life but all my older siblings did as well. I have heard all the attempts of my siblings vacuuming over my screaming, turning the tv or radio up as loud as it will go to drown out their baby sister. Unfortunately for my mother, 30 years ago (yes I am that old) there wasn’t enough information on baby colic nor medicines readily available to help ease not just my pain but my family’s pain as well.
Fast forward to present day and we have numerous remedies both medicine and natural to help soothe baby colic. I was a huge fan of granules for Buba when he showed signs of baby colic but luckily didn’t need them for Missy Moo. Nelsons has launched the NEW Nelsons Colica Colic Granules, a homeopathic medicinal product used for the relief of baby colic symptoms in babies over one month of age. At a price of only £5.80 from Boots, Tesco and www.amazon.co.ukit’s worth a try to settle your loved one.
Baby colic is very uncomfortable for your little one. Nelson is sharing some of their tips to help comfort your baby as well.
- Try soothing baby with a gentle rocking by walking round the house while holding them. You could also try taking them out for a ride in the car as the vibration, noise, movement and change of scenery can be soothing.
- Give your little one a gentle circular massage on their stomach.
- Try giving your baby a colic remedy like Nelsons Colica Colic Granules.
- Hold your baby close so that they can hear your heartbeat to help calm them. Possibly fasten them into a baby carrier on your chest while you go for a gentle walk, keeping them close to you.
- Your baby spent months bathed in a warm amniotic fluid so try a warm, peaceful bath.

Our boy had colic and we used Nelsons. Definitely recommend. My sister just had a baby so I’ll let her know about the giveaway! #TriedTested
Fortunately none of mine had colic, I feel so sorry for mums who have to suffer through it as it’s awful 🙁 Glad that Missy Moo escaped it and Buba’s cleared up with the granules! #triedtested
Colic is awful. I wish I had heard of Colica granules when Max was tiny! Great review and giveaway, thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
I would have tried anything to help with Princess when she had colic. It was awful. I really like Nelsons Teething Granules now. Love the gym too! its the one we have and wouldnt be without it. Little pudding loves it. #triedtested
I’ve luckily never had either of my children be too colicky. The floor gym looks fab though #triedtested
Boo had colic, it was awful. I wish that I had heard of these when she was younger as nothing really seemed to help properly.
The floor gym looks fantastic #triedtested
Fab giveaway 🙂
What great tips, babies suffering from colic can be really difficult to look after at times and these tips will be great for people who are new to parenting and have a child suffering from colic. #Tried&Tested
Thank you for another lovely giveaway. This would be perfect when I look after my nephew thanks 🙂
This tips are awesome, my sister in law is having her first baby I would definetly show her this tips for future reference. Super cute the Baby GYM 😀
Thanks hun. Yes do, it can be so hard when your baby is so distressed.
My first child had colic AND milk allergies. These suggestions are very helpful.
Ahh glad they can help. That must have been tough.
I feel so fortunate that neither of my kiddos were really colicky! Between my husband being deployed with the first, and in Germany for the second, I had enough stress lol! So good to see that mommies have options now to treat it.
I know I can’t imagine what my mother went through poor lady! lol Even something just to soothe them.
Awww…colic in babies is hard for everyone. My baby didn’t have colic but does have a gas problem and I give her gas drops which usually helps. The play mat is adorable!
Thanks Kim. Yes I can imagine gas problem is hard too. Glad they do drops for them. Good luck on the giveaway
thank you for a fabulous GiveAway. Baby bump due February and this would perfect please
We’ve tried the teething powders which are great, I wouldn’t hesitate to try the colic ones x
Yes I am all for the teeth granules ones as well. They have worked wonders on my two.
Little one had colic for about 3 months and it wasn’t easy for any of us. I love Nelsons natural solution and i’ll give it a try from now on. Wish Iv’e heard of it earlier :-(..
I know I wish I had too. It’s hard when you don’t know the little things that might help us out in those first few months where we can barely get anything else done. Bless.
Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
What a fab giveaway! I love fisher price toys. So well made x
My eldest had colic, and it was awful. My middlest was ok and hoping our 12 day old avoids it! #triedtested
Teething powders are a godsend!

Great blog post. Wish I had tried some of these tips when my son was suffering .
What a great giveaway! My little guy would love this.
My oldest son had a gym similar to this, I would love a chance at winning a new version.
Thank you for hosting a great giveaway x x x
Fab, would come in very handy!!
Fantastic giveaway! I have a friend who is due her baby on boxing day and this would make a fab gift for her!! xx
I have been looking at buying one of these so winning one would be awesome ! 🙂
Ah, we actually had a very similar baby gym which our baby loved. Would be great to win this for a friend whose baby is arriving very soon 🙂
This is so colourful, would love to win for my youngest granddaughter, would keep her entertained for ages, had similar ones for all the little ones, they loved them x
The baby gym looks super cute, so sad I missed this.
Would just like to share a theory about breastfeeding that is rarely mentioned that I believe helped me avoid colic twice now. It states that there are two kinds of milk in a breast. The fore milk and the hind milk and that only consuming the fore milk makes the baby colicky. I do not know why it is mentioned rarely :/
I wrote a comprehensive article on the subject (including the breastfeeding) titled simply Colic.
p.s.
Love your site design!
Oh yes I heard this about breastfeeding all the time with my son and daughter. It’s so true in our case. Really helped me. It’s getting more widely talked about now. Sorry you missed my giveaway. New ones added all the time.
I heard it from midwives and also read it in a Gina Ford book. I believe that’s at least one of the reasons it is not widely talked about 🙁
Will come back then 😉
I have a giveaway page that always list all current giveaways hun. Oh yes we are huge gina ford fans in this house. Hahaha
