Soothe the Nights, Ease the Cries: A Homeopathic Guide to Colic

Momma & Baby Series Part III

Finding Hope Through a Friend’s Advice

Becoming a new mom is magical, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when your little one is suffering. For Janis, the early days of motherhood were filled with learning curves, sleepless nights, and a heartbreaking struggle with her baby’s colic. The “witching hours” became a nightly battle, with inconsolable crying and a bloated, uncomfortable baby.

Janis tried everything she could think of. She switched formulas, experimented with bottle types, and even paced the house at all hours, all to soothe her baby. Nothing seemed to make a difference. She was at her wit’s end until a lunch-date conversation with her friend Ann changed everything.

Ann, a fellow mom, shared a secret that had saved her own sanity during her baby’s colic stage. “Have you thought about homeopathy?” Ann asked. “I know how hard this is, but there’s this remedy called Natrum phosphoricum, or Nat phos, that worked wonders for us. It’s natural and safe, and it tackles the actual cause of colic instead of just covering it up.”

Skeptical but desperate for solutions, Janis decided to give it a try. Little did she know that one conversation would lead her to a remedy that would transform her and her baby’s nights.

Why Conventional Fixes Fall Short

Before trying Nat phos, Janis had been through the gauntlet of conventional treatments. Conventional pediatric advice generally led her to over-the-counter remedies like gripe water, simethicone drops, or probiotics. None of them gave her baby the consistent relief she was hoping for.

The frustration grew as her pediatrician suggested switching formulas or even trying specialty bottles designed for “colic relief.” These were expensive and brought little improvement. While some doctors recommended antispasmodic medications, Janis worried about side effects like drowsiness or constipation.

Each option seemed to treat symptoms superficially rather than address the true cause of her baby’s discomfort. That’s what made homeopathy, and Nat phos in particular, such a game-changer for her.

Nat Phos to the Rescue! The Homeopathy Solution

After Ann’s advice, Janis dove into learning about Natrum phosphoricum and its benefits. Nat phos is best known as the acid/alkaline balancing tissue salt. It works by breaking down lactic acid, a byproduct that, when not properly decomposed, can irritate tissues and cause pain. This action makes it ideal for relieving the symptoms of colic, including bloating, discomfort, and excessive crying.

Janis followed Ann’s simple instructions. She dissolved 4 tablets of Nat phos 6 in a small amount of warm water, making sure it was fully dissolved. Then, using a teaspoon, she gave the mixture to her baby every 10-15 minutes until he showed relief.

To her amazement, the results were life-changing. Her baby’s cries eased, and he finally found peace. Janis couldn’t believe she had spent so many sleepless nights not knowing about this remedy. It was gentle, easy to administer, and most importantly, effective.

Say Goodbye to Colic Chaos

That one recommendation from Ann opened the door to a new world of gentle, effective healthcare for Janis and her baby. Gone were the days of feeling helpless and desperate. With Nat phos, she found a safe remedy that empowered her to comfort her baby in a way that felt right to her.
