Tummy Calm Dr. Kids Natural Gas Drops for Kids Ages 1+, 5 fl oz (150 mL)

Tried it for the first time the day it arrived and also happened to be an evening my baby girl (7 weeks) went into a full melt down - she is usually very chill and relaxed unless she has bad gas problems... We tried everything - carrying stomach down, bicycling legs, rubbing belly, burping everything... Finally, though I really hate giving her anything if I can help it, we broke down and opened the Tummy Calm... Gave her 1/3 of the recommended dose. She took it easily and even seemed to like the taste! Quickly we could feel her tummy bubble and pop inside! She farted a couple of times, burped on her own (while lying in her cradle!) and fell asleep for 4 hours... I have since used it 3 other times and I have found that in general she burps and toots more easily when she has had it. If I haven't used it in a few days, her burps are harder to come by... if she has had it recently (within a day or 2), her burps are easy to get and big! And she seems much more relaxed... I am happy it is all-natural and not a chemical (which I was avoiding, even though husband brought those drops home first... I didn't use them). The liquid is black - it wipes off her mouth easily, but will stain fabric (temporarily)

We have tried all the rest! Well not ALL the rest but we have tried Kolic, Little Remedies, Ovol, Milacon replacement(Up and Up Infants gas relief). Most of the common ones have simethicone. But none of them worked as well as Tummy calm. Our baby would cry with gas pains at night. After using Tummy calm for about 3 or 4 days, the gas was easier to pass! What a relief for the baby and US! No more crying to the top of her voice. The only downfall is it soiled her clothes as it is black in color. But we don't mind that at all! The majority of the discoloration of her clothes came off if the piece is rinsed within a half hour and washed within a couple of hours. I tell you, it is a very very small price to pay. It is not nice to see your baby writhe with gas pains. It is not been 3 months and I have bought some more just to make sure although the doctor said her gas issues would soon be resolved with age.

This is magic. I haven't slept all night because of grand daughters tummy problems. Now we both sleep all night no more crying.

My 7 week old son has some gas problems - he's often gassy and during the night time (especially the later it gets, from about 4am onward), it seems to get worse. He strains and pushes and turns red. At times he seems very uncomfortable and a few times he has even woken himself up crying (I'm imagining due to the discomfort). I took him to the doctor and am told he is fine, and this is a common issue with newborns. I'm glad he's OK but it's still rough to see him so uncomfortable (and to be honest, it really interrupts MY sleep to her him grunting and straining so much). I tried the Mylicon but that really didn't seem to do anything for him. I also tried Dr. Christopher's fennel and catnip drops but my son HATED the taste - it actually made him cry and didn't seem to work. The Tummy Calm definitely works - however, not as miraculously for me as it has with some people who's reviews I read. There are nights where it works very well and seems to get rid of his gas pretty quickly, but other nights it doesn't seem to help at all. I think the combination of using this product as well as making sure to feed him at an angle, burp him, and keep him upright after eating works best to minimize the gas problems. Overall a good product and I like that it is all natural.

I think I got the same background story as many of you: my newborn got colics, as it is my first baby I got into panic mode, spend the nights reading though the internet and got: - Chamomile globulis - Carbo vegetabilis globulis - Lactase - Gerbers smooth drops probiotics (was BioGaia) - Symethicon and ordered the two best reviewed amazon solutions: - Gripe water - Tummy calm. I spend days and weeks doing try and error to test every single solution and see if there was any progress. What I found out is: every baby is different!!! If something isn't working for me, it doesn't mean it won't work for you, so TRY IT! In my case, the tummy clam was the solution! It's the only thing we are using today (with a lot of cuddling and monkey grip (helps a lot!). First of all: it is homeopathic! No chemicals, no Symethicon, just natural stuff! it works! How can I be so sure? very simple: I stopped giving it 2 times for one day and the colic was immediately back! Pro: - compared to the gripe water, the serving size is much smaller. We started with 0.3 before or during every meal, and then switched to 0.6 (at 6 weeks approximately). Baby is doing great, there is no need to push hard anymore to poop, so he doesn't wake up anymore. Contra: - I love this product, really, but there is ONE THING I really hate: THE COLOR! Yes it matters. It is black. That means, it stains! And the stains are not easy to wash out! So I am very careful every time I give it to him, and try doing it BEFORE every meal, so he doesn't spit it when he burps. It helps a lot, but you will still get some stains... As I mentioned: every baby is different, so something that worked for me, might not work for you, but I would definitely try it!

I originally bought this in 2016 for my colicky infant. It was incredible. It would instantly break up the gas bubbles in her tummy (you could hear it hit the gas bubbles and break them up) and I would get tons of burps out immediately and within 30 minutes, she'd fart up a storm. I recommended it to everyone. HOWEVER I recently bought this for my new infant since his lazy latch creates excess gas, and I regret it. They switched out the dropper for a syringe (which makes administering it a lot harder- the plunger got stuck when I was giving it to him so I added a little more pressure and it shot him in the back of the throat) and changed the formula. After I gave him the full dose, there was no gas breakup. None. Not only that, but for the next 24 hours, it was a nightmare. He was in so much pain- he wouldn't stop crying. He wouldn't pass gas or have a dirty diaper. It took 48 hours for him to finally poop. I know its normal for babies to skip a few days- but not my son. He goes a few times a day, every day, and after that 48 hours his dirty diapers picked up where they left off. It took 3 days for him to pass it all through his system. How do I know? You'll see the remnants of it in the diaper. I do not recommend this at all. The original Tummy Calm i bought in 2016 was pure magic. But this stuff is garbage. Dont waste your money.

My son hates gripe water so I thought this would be a good alternative. It’s a very dark color, I think there might be charcoal in it because it’s such a deep black color. He would spit it up and then it would stain his clothes. We ended up throwing our away because it didn’t make his gas any better. His pediatrician said this might be a good alternative but it didn’t work well with him. Beware of the poop after you use this, it will most likely have black bits in it because of it’s color. After we gave him a tiny bit at first he made a yucky face like it tasted funny, it didn’t have any smell so I don’t know what it may have tasted like. This didn’t work with easing any gas but it did make him spit up a lot after using it.

I never write reviews, but I wanted to make it a point to write one on this magical product. In the early evening hours my baby usually starts getting fussy and crying for hours despite being well fed with breast milk, well rested, rocked and having a clean diaper. This has been so frustrating for my husband and I as we try so many natural methods to calm her down and they either work for 5 minutes or not at all. BUT every time we give her the tummy calm drops she is almost instantly better and calms down. Not long after she usually poops once if not a few times. I only give my newborn about 0.5mL once at night with a clean and sterilized syringe and it’s enough to be effective. Also, I did taste it for myself and it tastes good, like stevia. It is a black color though, so I put a bib on her because she will dribble some black stuff out. I’m telling y'all this has probably saved us hours of hearing the baby cry and saved me from crying as well.

When my newborn started to experience colic/ painfully gas the only advice I was given was to use Invacol. I always research what I use especially when it's over the counter treatments and was shocked at how in effective this treatment is and how badly it came out in clinical trials! In addition to the fact it contains all sorts of sweetness and artificial flavourings. I decided to research not only alternative medicines but information about the problem and what non medication interventions and changes I could do. In doing so I feel I have a better understanding of what is causing my little one her colic symptoms/ gas and how best to manage this. Along side changes i made with breast feeding I decided to buy two products -biogaia an infant probiotic to support her digestion in the long term and work towards preventing the gas (has a very good evidence base for breastfeeding baby's) and tummy calm for Instant relief. I was very impressed with the tummy calm website and the high quality of objective factual information on colic and painful gas, the clarity of information on the ingredients all of which are safe and appropriate for an infants sensitive tummys. This appeared to be the best alternative to invacol/simethicone I could find although it is very expensive. We have used tummy calm a number of times now and have been very impressed. The dropper is chunky and initially I thought getting my newborn to take it would be difficult but i was pleasantly surprised, the dropper was easy to use and control the amount administered and best of all she was able to suck on it and self administer. She appears to enjoy the taste and within a minute or two she has either had lots of burps and calmed or settled to sleep. An hour or two later she's been farting like a trooperer and making nappy changes a bit more interesting to say the least. We have also found she is now having days without any painfully gas which is great. Really pleased with tummy care and would highly recommend to anyone with an infant with painfully gas related colic. Ps so far have had no problems with staining we use a bib and muslin to prevent potential staining and any escaped liquid has not left any marks or stains!

Background: My child has had issues with wind and stomach pain since birth. Health visitors and doctors could never explain it and we were left to suffer it. I took him off his formula/ cows milk and gave him Oat Milk instead. His stomach settled, doctors confirmed 2 yrs on it was a milk allergy. Product: I bought this product as although a toddler he still wakes with wind. I put this in this milk before bed, he doesn't notice and he sleeps well. There doesn't appear to be any side affects unlike other medicines. Conclusion: if your looking at products because your child is suffering, don't give up refuse to leave the Drs until your taken seriously. Get them to prescribe medicated formula and not all formulas on the shelf agree with babies tummys. There will be a reason for your child's wind and pain, you just need to find it and 99.% of the time it's formula or milk products.

Really calms my baby. She sleeps better,poo easier,settles quicker. I loved the fact that you can give it at a times when she is not being fed. I use it as an emergency medicine to help my baby when she struggles to poo or has digestion problems, struggles to burp, hiccups and finds difficult to settle. Only one down side is that black colour.took me a while to learn how to nicely feed it to my baby hence several clothing items were damaged - you can't wash it off.

Does exactly exactly what it says - it's not cheap but baby with colic or wind is nearly instantly eased. Made with natural ingredients it does a superb job of helping baby and mum have a good rest between feeds in the early months.

Not sure this really worked for us so stopped using, it stains really bad so would only give her it in the bath tub! however the taste wasn’t too bad
