Colic is very rarely avoided. While the baby’s body gets used to a new type of nutrition, parents struggle to help the child so that such conditions do not bring so much suffering. One of the means intended for this is the Bebicalm drug for newborns.
Parents' reviews regarding this medication are quite controversial. Some argue that drops help perfectly, others say that the remedy does not give a noticeable result. What is the reason for such a disagreement? The fact is that the organisms of two separate babies will react differently to any drug. In choosing a remedy for colic, sometimes you have to try several options.
What are Bebicalm drops for newborns? Reviews of doctors say that this drug belongs to the group of dietary supplements. Its action is based on the properties of the essential oils that are part of the medication : anise, dill (fennel) and mint. The fact that the drug contains only natural ingredients is its undeniable advantage.
Fennel, which is part of the drops, helps to cope with such problems as bloating, increased gas formation, and flatulence. It has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial and carminative effects. Anise stimulates the activity of the intestine, due to which the gases escape naturally. Peppermint provides sedative and anti-inflammatory properties of Bebicalm for newborns.
Reviews indicate that before using the product, you should definitely test for allergies. For this purpose, it is enough to give the baby no more than five drops of the supplement and follow its reaction. If you notice redness on the skin, swelling or any other negative manifestations, discard this remedy. Consult with a pediatrician, he will recommend another drug. By the way, a doctor’s consultation is necessary in any case, because all means, whether they are drugs or just supplements, should be selected solely on the basis of his recommendations.
It should be noted that some drugs for getting rid of colic cannot be prescribed from the first day of a child's life. This does not apply to Bebicalm for newborns. Reviews say that pediatricians recommend using these drops from the moment the problem arose. And it is not so important, on the fifth day from the moment of the appearance of the child this happened or on the thirtieth.
How to give Bebicalm to a newborn? For convenience, in each package with the drug there is a pipette. With it, you can easily count out the required ten drops. It is this amount of supplement that should be given to the baby every time before he eats. Even if feeding is carried out on demand, and the baby asks for a breast very often, do not skip taking the Bebicalm drug. An overdose is practically excluded.
It is very important for parents to observe the correct storage conditions for the product. The open bottle should be refrigerated. If 30 days have passed since you unscrewed its lid, do not hesitate to send the drug into the bin - its expiration date has expired. If necessary, you can simply purchase a new bottle with Bebicalm drops for newborns. The price for it is approximately 130-150 rubles, so such a purchase will not greatly affect the family budget.
