My son had colic when he was 2 months old. It lasted for two months. I will never forget it. It was truly one of the hardest things we have been through as a family. He cried and screamed from 5pm to 2am every single night. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. You could watch the clock and literally at 5pm it would start. People thought we were exaggerating, that is, until some family members witnessed it themselves. It was frustrating, upsetting, irritating and tiring. I even remember going to Target really late one night to purchase the new Advanced Colic Relief Drops from Little Remedies® because we were so desperate.

As a mother our instincts are to fix what is wrong with our baby. Normally we figure out the issue by process of elimination. Check the diaper, see if the baby is hungry, etc. With a colic baby, you do all of these things but nothing stops them from screaming. During those 2 long months, I cried and cried right along with him. I was exhausted because we weren’t getting any sleep. He wasn’t sleeping. It broke my heart when he cried that much and that long and there was nothing I could do about it. His pediatrician told us we would have to “wait it out.” That wasn’t a good enough answer for me.

When we finally went to Target one night and saw the Little Remedies® Advanced Colic Relief on the baby aisle, I was so excited! We bought it and immediately gave it to him that night when the screaming started. While it wasn’t the cure-all, it did help tremendously. He began to take breaks to eat and eventually the screaming and crying intervals lessened and lessened. We were finally able to get a little relief until it passed altogether.

When my daughter was born in May, I was determined to be prepared for colic episodes. I went into it thinking she would do this. Thank goodness, she has made it almost 5 months without being colic. She does, however have extreme acid reflux. This has caused many issues with her weight gain and one of the symptoms is gas. I have been using Little Remedies® Gas drops every time she starts feeling gassy and starts fussing. They have helped her so much.

I put together a Mommy’s Middle of the Night Survival Kit to keep next to the bed in case of emergencies so that I will have everything I need right on hand. I have a few close friends that are pregnant and think that this would make an awesome gift for them!

Items I included in the Mommy’s Middle of the Night Survival Kit:

Thermometer

Diapers

Wipes

Suction

Little Remedies® Advanced Colic Relief

Little Remedies® Gas Drops
Pacifier
Diaper Rash Cream

These are the items I use most during the night. It is so nice to have them right at my fingertips when our daughter wakes up during the night.
