What ingredients are missing
Some ingredients found in the other brands in the market are not good for
your baby. So let's talk about what isn't in this one:
-No alcohol.
Obviously, you wouldn't want to give your baby anything with alcohol in it. But
believe it or not, a few brands used to contain alcohol. To be fair, most
brands no longer contain alcohol. But to be on the safe side, be sure to read
the ingredients carefully!
-No sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
The brand most readily available in drug stores contains this ingredient. Why
shouldn't a baby have baking soda? Well, baking soda is known to impede your
baby's ability to absorb both iron and folic acid. In infants, a folic acid
deficiency sometimes slows growth rate. An iron deficiency may decrease
alertness and slow learning ability. So, you really want to avoid gripe waters
that contain baking soda. Baking soda is also an alkali and can upset your
baby's delicate PH balance in your baby's stomach.
-No concentrated herbal oils or extracts
Organic ingredients, properly diluted, will not harm your baby. However, many
brands do not dilute the oils and extracts and instead contain concentrated
amounts. For the solution to be safe and effective for your baby, the
ingredients need to go through the dilution process that brings the original
organic material down to a safe level for your baby to ingest.
Follows strict FDA guidelines
Colic Calm is a homeopathic medicine and manufactured under strict FDA
guidelines for quality, strength, purity and labeling. Some gripe water brands
are considered dietary supplements. Which means they do not follow the strict
FDA guidelines set forth to be considered a homeopathic medicine. That is probably
why you may have heard of recalls of certain brands over the past few years.
