Some spitting up is normal. One factor is temperature. Some babies’ stomachs are sensitive to cooler liquids, so Tummy Calm at room temperature could be unsettling. Tummy Calm may be added to a small amount (1 or 2 ounces) of warmed formula or pumped breast milk to raise the temperature and change the taste and texture back to something familiar. Every baby is different, so a little trial and error is sometimes needed. It is best to avoid giving Tummy Calm immediately after feeding if your baby’s stomach is full, as spit-up may occur from the added pressure.
As with all medications, it is important to ensure that your doctor is aware of the use of this product. Always check with your doctor if your baby is taking other medications or has been treated for health concerns. If other medications are being used, allow a two-hour window between the other medication and Tummy Calm, so that the effects of the other medication are not lessened.
There are no known contraindications to any of the active ingredients in Tummy Calm. However, it is always advised that you check with your doctor before introducing any product.
You may notice a temporary, harmless, darkening of the stool. This occurs because Tummy Calm uses a form of carbon called Carbo Vegetabilis (vegetable charcoal). This pure, naturally-derived, non-carcinogenic vegetable charcoal makes Tummy Calm black in colour. Vegetable charcoal does not enter the bloodstream, and passes out of the body naturally and easily, along with the gas and toxins it has collected on its journey through the digestive tract.
Tummy Calm’s rich dark colour is as Mother Nature intended, without any "pretty" colouring to alter its purity and efficacy. While the microfine particles of vegetable charcoal do not contain any dye, they can get lodged in fabrics and may require gentle manipulation to loosen. This is why we have included a stain warning on the bottle and box.
We find that stains lift out easily with most spray stain removers. It is best to treat stains promptly. For stubborn stains, try pre-spotting with dishwashing liquid before washing. Many parents keep bibs and rags handy, so that stain removal doesn’t become an issue.
Yes. Tummy Calm is helpful in easing discomfort associated with stomach upset that often accompanies teething.
Many toddlers and older children benefit from stomach ache relief with Tummy Calm.
Tummy Calm can also provide relief for flatulence and bloating from gas. In addition, a great number of parents swear by Tummy Calm for effective treatment of hiccups.
Each bottle contains (47) ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) doses for babies under 9 kg or (24) ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) doses for those over 9 kg. Some children require more doses than others, depending on the frequency of their symptoms. Discard the bottle within 3 weeks after opening.
This product should be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Because there is no need for refrigeration, Tummy Calm is also ideal for traveling away from home.
Peaceful sleep often follows naturally after relief. There are no narcotic, sedative, or habit-forming ingredients in Tummy Calm.
The homeopathic ingredients in Tummy Calm are diluted either to 1X or 3X potency. A 1X dilution is obtained by mixing 1 part of the medicinal ingredient with 9 parts of a neutral diluting agent and then vigorously shaking the solution (succussion). The 3X is obtained by repeating this dilution and succussion process 3 times. Eight of the nine active ingredients in Tummy Calm operate according to homeopathic principles at a 3X potency, 1 part per 1,000, or 0.1%. This level of dilution is found in some non-homeopathic pharmaceuticals in use today. Drugs such as Ergocalciferol, are much more diluted than 1 part per 1000. Unlike most medicines, homeopathic products are not subject to pre-market
approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not reviewed by the FDA.
Tummy Calm derives its rich black colour from Carbo Vegetabilis 1X (also known as activated charcoal or medicinal carbon). A 1X dilution is a dilution of one part per 10. The activated charcoal in Tummy Calm is prepared according to HPUS methods. Charcoal has been used safely in medicinal applications for thousands of years.
The activated charcoal in Tummy Calm relieves the bloating and abdominal discomfort attributable to gaseousness in colicky babies. Charcoal's efficacy in adsorbing gases and toxins in the digestive system has been established in several studies and medical texts including:
"Symptoms of bloating and abdominal cramps attributable to gaseousness were also significantly reduced in both groups by
activated charcoal." - Efficacy of Activated Charcoal in Reducing
Intestinal Gas: a Double-Blind Clinical Trial by Jain NK, M.D., Patel VP, M.D., Pitchumoni CS, M.D.
Each dose of Tummy Calm contains amounts of activated charcoal corresponding to the amounts used in these efficacy studies, adjusting for the size of the baby.

... I love this product, it works straightaway ...
"As a new mum I was reluctant to give my son anything that wasn’t natural. My midwife recommended colic calm for the benefits of relieving gas for his wind. I tried the colic calm and it really helped. It was 100% what I was after. I love this product, it works straightaway and he likes the taste. It’s the only advice I give my friends! "
... I would recommend any mother to use Colic Calm ...
"Since my wee boy Ryan has been taking this I have noticed huge changes in him. He’s calmer and more settled. Its been great. I have also been taking him to a Cranial Osteopathy which has been brilliant they are both working together. I would recommend any mother to use Colic Calm, a completely different child."
... WOW ...
"I got it yesterday afternoon and WOW. Are you sure Colic Calm is OK as it has had amazing results just over one evening. My wee man slept so well last night and woke up with a big grin this morning! Thank you so much for making the effort to bring this stuff to NZ. I will be ordering more and recommending your site :) Thanks again"
...Thanks for making all our lives easier...
"We had tried every piece of advice to help with our baby's colic and every product available to no avail until we tried colic calm. We immediately saw an improvement and our little girl was so much happier. Thanks for making all our lives easier. I want to let others know that this product really works when they are searching for an answer."
... Instant Success! ...
"Colic Calm worked a treat for my newborn daughter. I didn’t want to use anything but a natural remedy for wind and none of the other products on the market worked. Colic Calm gave my daughter instant relief and she no longer suffers from digestive problems. This is a great product which is worth its weight in gold!"
... I highly recommend this product ...
"After the hardest sleepless nights with my wee girl and her digestive issues in the first few months of her life, I found that out of all the homeopathic remedies I tried, Colic Calm was the only product that seemed to help. I highly recommend this product and will certainly be using this in the future when the need arises. Thank you"
... What a fantastic product ...
"What a fantastic product. Our little girl suffers from colic and we tried couple of other products before Colic Calm but they weren’t really helping. She is a lot calmer and happier since she started taking Colic Calm. Thank you for bring the product to NZ."
... simply the best thing...
"Colic calm is simply the best thing. My son suffered from colic so severely, he would scream after every feed and pull his legs up to his chest. We tried everything on the market and was about to give up, until a lady suggested Colic Calm. Within a day of giving Colic Calm to him we saw huge results. Thank you this product is truly amazing. "
