Product Overview

Infacol contains the active ingredient simethicone and is clinically proven to help relieve wind, infant colic, and griping pain from birth onwards. It is sugar, alcohol, and colourant free with a natural orange flavour.

Infant colic is a common condition, affecting around 1 in 5 infants in the UK in their first month of life. Although it is not a serious medical condition and usually resolves by the age of 3-4 months, it is possible to alleviate the distress caused to both infant and parent.

Signs of Colic

Your baby may have colic if she cries continuously for no specific reason and you are unable to comfort her. Colic most commonly occurs in the late afternoon and evening; your baby will cry out in pain and may:

• Draw her knees up to her chest.
• Go red in the face.
• Have a swollen or bloated tummy.
• Pass wind more than usual.

Symptoms not associated with colic include diarrhoea, vomiting, or a raised temperature (over 38ºC/100ºF). If your baby suffers from any of these or if you are uncertain whether your baby is suffering from colic, you should seek guidance from your health visitor, midwife, or family doctor.

Possible Causes

Despite medical research, no one is certain what causes infant colic. A likely explanation may be the build-up of trapped wind in your baby's bowel, which may cause them to cry out in pain and discomfort.

Recommended Solutions

Try giving your baby Infacol, which is clinically proven to treat colic from birth onwards. Other products used for helping to relieve the symptoms of colic include:

You could also try to soothe your baby by rocking her gently or taking her out for a walk in a pram. All babies are not the same, so they will respond to different techniques. You should try various methods to comfort your baby and see what works best for you.
