Ok, how cute is she though…! If you have been following along on Instagram then you know how much Ella has been eating lately. I have been sharing how she is growing right before my eyes and eating like a champ these last few weeks, and I just can’t believe how much she has changed in such a short time! Ella has always been pretty good when it comes to handling her bottles and new foods, but from time to time she experiences colic issues that are really bad.
Ella had several straight weeks where she would fuss and cry and throw up after every bottle. We tried holding her upright for 30-40 minutes after every feeding. She slept at a slight incline at night, and we even tried switching up her formula. We tried everything and nothing helped. It was clear she was having colic issues and it was heartbreaking to feel so helpless. Does this sound familiar to you?
When I was born my Dad always used to say that I came out screaming and didn’t stop for 3 months. That is because I was a colicky baby and had bad stomach issues. Of course, this made me cry. When I see my own babies in pain like that it just breaks my heart and I want to do all that I can to help them to feel better. I spoke about Boiron® products in a recent post HERE to let you know about the company itself and how it is the world leader in homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathy is holistic because it treats the person as a whole, rather than focusing on a diseased part or a labeled sickness. Homeopathy is natural because its remedies are produced according to the U.S. FDA-recognized Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States from natural sources, whether vegetable, mineral, or animal in nature.

I love Boiron’s Camilia® for teething pain relief, but they also have a product just for colic discomfort ColicComfort® that is just as amazing. I have been using it for Ella for the past two weeks and I am so happy with the results! It is recommended that you give your baby this earth-sourced medicine right before their meal for the best results. It can be used for babies ages 1 month and up and temporarily relieves symptoms associated with colic, including gas pain and irritability.* A colicky baby is a healthy baby that cries for more than 3 hours a day! I am all for cutting that cry time down!
This product is prepackaged in single-use liquid doses making it easy and stress-free to administer, just like the Camilia medicine. The top just twists and snaps off and you can just squeeze the contents into their mouth. Ella thinks it’s like a bottle so it is super easy to give to her. The single doses are portable so I like to keep a small baggie of them in my diaper bag for meals on the go, and they are also sugar, lactose, and flavor free. Literally perfect.
