Brauer Baby & Child Colic

Finally some quiet – My poor little 8 week old has been screaming since birth. Numerous paediatrician visits and working out he has lactose allergy and bad reflux. We tried Bowen treatments which worked, but not for long. Tried a natropath and we were giving separate doses of the same ingredients that I found in the colic relief. I am not sure if it is coincidence or… Read more

the brauers, but finally, today my boy is able to sleep pain free and he is relaxed. He has only been sleeping on average 10 hours out of every 24, so he (and all of us) are exhausted. I am persisting with breast feeding and expressing and treating the milk with lacteese drops to convert the lactose sugars so he can digest it. Even with converting the milk he was still very troubled. Hence why i tried to colic relief today. It truly is a saviour and I am so happy I found it. I have used the teething relief with my eldest and it is just as good.

I can highly recommend this product. It is all natural and not a drug! I have found all Brauer products to be of a high quality and what they claim to be able to do is true. quick and easy to administer. fast result

It does work – After using Infacol on our two week old for nearly one week and seeing no improvement, we decided to use Brauer Colic Relief. It was amazing to see such a quick change after the initial doses. As one of the reviewers above noted, this may be considered as 'sugar water', however it works. Homeopathic medicines are micro-dosed natural… Read more

substances derived from botanical, animal or mineral sources. A specific homeopathic medicine dilution is obtained by a precise and controlled process of successive "homeopathic dilution". The medicine is diluted or de-concentrated and then vigorously shaken, traditionally referred to as succussion. This process transforms the original substance into a therapeutically active medicine.

Many, new to homeopathy, mistake potency or dilution with strength. There is actually no correlation between potency and the strength of a homeopathic medicine. A homeopathic medicine at 30C potency is not stronger than the same medicine at 6C or 3C.

The difference is in their action. While a 6C potency is better suited for a local symptom, a 30C or higher potency is more appropriate for general conditions such as allergy, stress or sleep disorders. Starts working within the first day, provided better relief than Infacol

Natural is Best – Active ingredients are given as homeopathic dilutions as follows: Bryonia 30C, Chamomilla 6C, Colocynthis 6C, Mag. phos. 6C. "C" means a 1 in 100 dilution (see [1]). More than 1 C means that the dilution process was repeated, so that a 6C concentration represents 1 part in 10,000,000,000 (10 billion). A 30C concentration would be… Read more

represented by 1 part in 10^60 (a 1 followed by 60 zeros, equivalent to a million billion billion billion billion billion billion). Statistically, there is no chance that a single molecule of the active ingredient remains in the product.

I know many users of this product have seen it in action and know that it DOES help in certain cases. This is almost certainly caused by the added sugar, which is well known to provide some pain relief to infants.

I don't want to discourage anyone from trying to relieve their child's pain and discomfort, and I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from exploring natural methods. However, in this case Brauer is capitalizing on parents who don't have the time to read the ingredient labels and understand what they mean (who does, when you're at your wit's end, having tried everything and Annie is still screaming?). They are manufacturing and marketing what is essentially sugar water and listing a few token "active" ingredients (at ridiculously low concentrations) so consumers don't realize they can save some money by making it themselves.

You can prepare this yourself at home far cheaper. Just mix a little sugar into tap water then administer to your child just like the instructions say. It will more just as well.

Amazing product save my sanity – Helped so much with my daughter's colic, life saver! I was recommended other products & they didn't work. my daughter settled after a half an hour, no more problems. thank you. Show details

One of the Best Wind Relief on the Market – I have used this product with my other baby and now that I have a newborn, she's very unsettled because of the cold weather, as soon as I giver her Brauer Colic relief, within 10 minutes, all her gases come out and what a relief...she settles and has a good night sleep...amazing product, highly recommended..

Miracle product – I’ve used this product both for when my baby got wind as a newborn and when she gets a bit constipated and uncomfortable now that she’s on solids. I can’t believe how quickly it provides relief for her. This is a miracle product that we honestly don’t leave the house without. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Made it completely worse - don’t do it! – Brauer Colic made it completely worse on both separate occasions we tried it, baby seemed to be in even more severe pain, screamed for at least 10min. Gave it one more go in case and even worse chaos this time...won’t try a third, have thrown it out and still has colic symptoms and wind so we’re onto Gripe Water which seems to work ok-ish.… Read more

Infants Friend didn’t seem to work either. Each to their own though, it obviously works for some but not us, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone we know

Never again !! – Made my baby pass her gas fine but everything else was horrible!! Flared her silent reflux so bad for two days AND made her so constipated ! For 2 days!! :/ I would not recommend for reflux babies or constipated babies.. will be going in the bin ASAP .. ..

Don't waste your money – I was highly recommended this product by quite a few people. It sounded so promising so I went and bought it straight away as my son has reflux and suffers from wind. It isn't a cheap product and the smell is extremely artificial and over powering. My 4 week old hated the taste but I persevered with it as I had great expectations. It did absolutely nothing. Such a waste of money, regret buying this.

Great product! – My 5 week old had been suffering with colic for about 3 weeks and as soon as I used the brauer he was relieved . He sleeps so much better on this also which would be down to the calming effects of camomile . Not sure why all these angry mums are kicking of about this product because they state it made their baby worse but yet would use gripe… Read more

water that has alcohol in it! Would highly recommend this product to any parent struggling with colic and fussiness .

Instant relief! – 4 week old has bad wind pain!! This relieves instantly or within 5 mins! We use 30mins before feeds usually to help pass wind. Tastes better than gripe water, great to stock up when on sale. Show details

Praise be! – I have a different baby.. We've struggled with on and off digestion issues from mild reflux to tons of gurgling and discomfort. I'm talking hours of crying and being inconsolable every evening. Within half an hour we had a settled baby. We had a good sleep that night (5.5hrs). We used it about 6 more times over a few days and it really helped settle her for bed. I don't need to use it anymore for my 9 week old. Thanks Brauer!! Show details

It works! – My bub at 8 weeks would be so unsettled with wind from that she couldn't sleep. She'd just scream unless held to sleep. After some reading and talking to other mums, I think it was silent reflux (though a GP - with NO kids - told me there was no such thing and that my baby was fine). I tried a little Mylanta with this Colic Remedy and within a day… Read more

i could put her down, walk away and she'd self settle. Her dad stopped giving it to her for 2 days because he didn't like the thought of her being on medicine and she went straight back to not being comfortable, screaming and not sleeping. Within a day of giving her the Mylanta and Brauers Colic remedy she was back to a happy and well sleeping bub.

Helpful to have – I had a premmie baby whi had very bad gas n tummy pains. He would poop once a week at the beginning and i new the day he needed to poop cause his tummy was tight and he would draw his legs up screaming in pain. After foing the first 4 initial doses i wouldnt need anymore. My boy would poop after and when he didnt poop he would fart a storm afterwards releasing that wind stuck in his belly and then id get my happy little baby back afterwards

Big difference – This has been a life saver omg what a more settled baby I have... my child has reflux and a lot of gas due to been formula fed this product is a must to all the mothers out there. My baby is one happy baby now. Thanks.

I have my happy baby back! – I never write reviews, but I felt the need to for any other desperate mum's like me! This product is AH-MAZING! My newborn was the perfect baby for the first 2 weeks of his life and then it all went downhill fast! He was literally screaming unless he was asleep (only sleeps at night, was giving me 12+ hours of hell every day) or feeding. I sent my… Read more

husband off to buy this product after reading some conflicting reviews online. He came home and I only had to give him 2 doses before I saw a difference. I am now 3 days in to using this (only as required) and I am so impressed, I will recommend to anyone with a colicky baby.

Pretty much instant relief – We resorted to using this product as it is natural. I started using it on Bub at 10 days old. The first time she needed a dose every half hour for two hours but after that time we only needed the one dose and the relief is instant. It's amazing stuff! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with an unsettled Bub due to gas or colic.

Saved us! – This product has helped immeasurably during our boys short but gastronomically turbulent existence. He always has something going on, but this quickly and effectively reduces the pain and gas my son suffers from. It is something he looks forward to, and now that bub is old enough to, he smiles every time we give it to him.

Brilliant stuff!! – This stuff is awesome! Used it for both my babies now & see such a huge difference! Im not a huge believer in homeopathic remedies or a crazy person but for whatever reason it works for my babies & i recommend it to everyone! I have tried other things like infants friend, infacol & gripe water but notice no difference until i started with this &… Read more

in conjunction with a baby probiotic such as babybiotics from bioceuticals its a perfect team for us!

THIS PRODUCT SAVE MY SANITY – My baby was always crying and not sleeping through the day at all. When 3 weeks old friend told me about this product. After first dose my baby sleept for 2.5 hours! After that i was giving he on 4 hours and she was the happiest baby ever. Cant recommend this product enough!

Highly Recommended – My 3 weeks was doing great until he hit 16 days old...two days and no sleep, day or night. He was constantly moaning, pulling at the breast, he would sleep 10 minutes and wake up screaming. I was tired and exhausted, so decided to give Brauer colic relief a go. After the first dose, the baby slept about 20 minutes, then I continued every half… Read more

an hour till I reached the fourth dose. The baby finally and was back to normal. I do use it occasionally and it's great..

Amazing – My son suffers from colic and this works perfectly, settling him right away. Started using it as a newborn and am still using it as it an 18 month old. Usually only need the first dose. Also love Brauer teething liquid and runny nose formula. I reccomend this product to all my friends with an unsettled baby

Lolly water – Should've read the packaging rather than listening to the pharmacy assistant as I didn't realise this was homeopathic and I was basically paying for horribly flavoured water. It's good for making you feel like you tried something to help, but that's about it.

Helps – I bought this product because it was natural. It doesn't stop the pain and crying but it appears to reduce the severity of the pain (as measured by the intensity of the cry). When taken bub will quickly burp or pass wind. Bub doesn't mind the taste and it is easy to administer. I wish it could relieve all problems but reducing the pain is helpful. Well priced. natural, reduced pain, well priced

Good – Switched to this and works really well, though neither of my twins suffer badly, just occasionally at night. purchased based on other reviews and word of mouth from friends. So had previously used gripe, though they tend to require more of this one then they do of the brauer brand. a bit pricey, but it works well

Ok – I think this does work a little but it has a really strong artificial smell that turns both me and my baby off. Baby usually spits out half of it and for the effort it takes for baby to take it i dont really think its one of the best out there. Infants Friend worked better for us. Works a bit Strong smell, available most chemists

Love, love, love it! – I've used Brauer Colic Relief for both of my children. My son whos now 2 1/2 had bad wind pains/colic for months and months and this product was the only thing that would give him relief, I now use it for my newborn daughter. This stuff is amazing and I recomend it to any of my friends that have children with bad wind pains. Reliable, fast, easy to give to babys

Relieved mum – After a night wondering if I was up to continuing breast feeding as every time I fed my baby boy (4weeks old) he would scream at me! Im not a first time mum and I have breast fed my first so it pained me that that's what I was thinking but having a little one scream at you for hours in pain is heartbreaking! Went to chemist today as I dawned on me… Read more

it was probably colic, my husband and I opted for brauer colic relief as we have used other brauer products and found them great but this one worked so fast my boy had a huge feed immediately brought up his wind and then slept peacefully for the past 4 hours! Oh my I am so relieved my house is back to normal the tention gone and my husband isn't to scared to come near me in case I snap at him from the stress! Thank you brauer even if its just suger water I don't care it works and provides relief! It could be bottled water for all I cared today as its amazing Worked!!! Inexpensive, and reliable brand

Brauer Colic Relief – My second baby showed signs of colic at 4 weeks - my first had it terribly - would scream for 4 hours straight every night. We had used another brand which wasn't very effective in the past. I was in the chemist today and a mother behind me actually advised me to buy this product and why - it had also been recommended to her by their pediatrician.… Read more

At first I though, here we go, everyones an expert - but figuring I had nothing to lose purchased it. Thank goodness I did. What a brilliant product.

The first dose took about 20 mins to work and I gave a second dose half and hour later as advised. Bub was so peaceful and it was so heartwarming for me to see her feed without being in such terrible pain. She was able to pass wind easily and drifted off to sleep when finished. I just had to review this product so that other parents out there looking for advice can read that it really does work! Works brilliantly

Excellent – I recommend these drops to all new moms. I get anxious if i don't have any in the house, as you just never know when something will upset their tummy and this fixes it (albeit, it may take a few doses to keep things under control). The whole family can get sleep with these around! Can't recommend highly enough! This product has saved my life (and… Read more

my daughter's) time and time again. She was a windy baby and she could go from being in so much pain, and after these drops she'd be able to pass the wind (heehee- i could hear her!) and she wouldn't be uncomfortable anymore.

Great natural option – I first heard about this product from our pediatrician and so went in search of it. My little one had reflux (undiagnosed when I began using this product) so had very bad collic/ wind as the two go hand in hand. When you see them withering in pain it was good to be able to administer a homeopathic medicine that was free from nasty chemicals. To… Read more

add to a newborn parent's nightmare I was so tired I gave bubs double the dose. After a tearful call to the poison hotline I was reassured that this medicine is very safe and wouldn't harm my baby regardless of the dose. I can look back and laugh now but at the time I was never so relieved to have chosen an all natural product. As for its effectiveness I would say that it takes 10 minutes or so to work. Bubs always calmed and went to sleep after. Later whatever was in there was moved along by this oily concoction and gave bubs a good clean out! Easy to administer, great dropper, tasted ok, great shelf life Can be hard to find which is a shame

A natural option that really works! – I dint usually review things but in this case i just had to let other parents know that effective relief exists! When our little lady developed bad wind at 5 weeks - we tried all the usual methods and medicineswe could to help her with little success. No one was getting any sleep - my baby was exhausted and I was heart broken to not be able to… Read more

soothe her pain. Then I came across brauer colic relief and have not looked back! It works for her immediately without additional half hourly doses. Perhaps the initial effect is from the sweet taste but the evidence that there is more too it than that is in how quickly and easily she then passes massive amounts of wind and goes on to sleep for 5 hours at a time! Thank goodness there is someone out there making homeopathics so easily available. We are very happy with this product! Fast, natural relief - it's priceless.

Good – Wonderful product that has helped at times with our daughters colic. I like the fact that there is a natural option to try before resort to anything else. 9 times out of 10 this works for us. Easy to administer, great tasting (we have never had a face screwed up at this product). I love the fact that it is a natural product that I can try… Read more

before we resort to anything else. No real cons but it can take a while to kick in - I generally do the first doses quite close together as instructed as this helps.

Good – we tried many and i mean many different products to help relieve bubs wind pain and this is the only one that worked. the relief seemed to be immediate and for a significat period of time without requiring extra doses. i would reccommend without hesitation. natural product, works well and very fast effective, none so far

Excellent – This product seems a bit expensive but for the releif it gives little baby its well worth its weight in gold in my opinion. This can be given to young bubs to help alleviate their little tummy cramps and pains. Works wonders and very quickly to give bub and parents some releif. natural bit expensive
