This website is born of my passion for helping babies. Colic is poorly understood and poorly treated, with parents left to try a range of remedies and often ineffective treatments. This often results in months of needless suffering and sleepless nights. I have come to believe that prolonged colic can even have an effect on the babies personality!

I approach the treatment of colic and reflux from a holistic perspective that involves more than just medicating symptoms but looks at causes as well as management changes that can make a world of difference. I’ve personally treated well over 6,000 babies over the past 33 years and have heard about every imaginable symptom and remedy for colic!

Releasing one little 'bubble' can make all the difference.

Over the years I've learned that the best thing you can do to help an unhappy baby is to first get a good understanding of what's likely to be wrong. A good history, understanding the particular group of symptoms, when they started, how they've progressed, what they eat, when they eat, etc - all can help. Once you've narrowed this down, it is a lot easier to give good advice.

In many cases, it's simply a case of helping your baby to get trapped winds and gas to escape. So I teach ‘hands on’ practical exercises that you can begin immediately and expect to see results quickly. Getting a deep burp to escape can brings instant relief. A different set of exercises can release a deep pocket of intestinal gas. In other cases, further investigation might be needed as the pattern suggests an allergy or digestive issue unrelated to simple trapped gas.

I do hope you will find the information on this site of value and that your baby will benefit from my experience!
