Colic:
Sharp abdominal pain which can cause babies great distress. In breast-fed babies, colic can be caused by spicy or acidic food in the mother's diet, or the mother's anxiety. In bottle-fed infants, air swallowing is the most likely cause.
Remedies to be given every 20 minutes for up to five doses, using 6c or 30c.
