Bennets Colic Mixture

Thanks Lientjie - I feel much better about using it now that I've read all the comments about the mixture! I really find that it relaxes Connor in the afternoon, he is chilled after his feed and seems to fall asleep a little easier...with no hassle and crying, etc - definitely makes for a happier mom & baby!!

Des - my paed actually prescribed the Bennetts Colic Mixture for my LG at 6weeks! Also gave her just 1 dose in the late afternoon / early evening and stopped when she was 3months. Solved the screaming everytime she passed wind, etc and resulted in a much happier mom and baby!

Thanks ladies I feel much better about it now! It works for us, so Im going to continue using for as long as I need to - all within measure of course!!

Oh, and don't worry, he will outgrow the niggles and be a happy baby again all day - yes, even in the evenings

Des, dont stress about that, if it works, then great.
I gave my son paragorie when he was a couple of weeks old, because he had such bad colic that NOTHING else worked!
Like you said it is not asif you dope him. I say if it works for you, use it!

Hi there

I used Bennets for both my girls.

Gripe water and telament did nothing for them, but Bennets worked like a dream. They didn't have colic, but had terrible digestive problems and screamed every time they pooped!

I also gave 2.5mls. No need to worry.

Julz - the directions on the insert say that I can give Connor 1ml/kg of his bodyweight up to a max of 8mls per doseage - and Im only giving him 2.5mls - so, I really dont think it can be too strong for him. The mixture does contain alcohol, so maybe thats what shes referring to - but then, so does Gripe Water and Telament colic drops contain alcohol.
