What is colic?

Infant colic is a common condition, affecting around 1 in 5 infants in the UK in their first month of life. However, it is not a serious medical condition and usually resolves by the age of 3-4 months. Despite medical research, no one is certain what causes infant colic. A likely explanation may be the build-up of trapped wind in your baby’s bowel causing pain and discomfort.

How does Infacol work?

Infacol works by helping the small trapped gas bubbles join into bigger bubbles, which your baby can easily bring up as wind – helping to relieve their pain and discomfort. Clinically proven, Infacol is the UK’s No.1 selling treatment for wind, infant colic and griping pain*. It is suitable to use from birth onwards (unlike gripe waters) and is sugar, alcohol and colourant free with a pleasant tasting orange flavour. Given before each feed, its clinically proven formula works progressively over several days. Continued usage may help to prevent a further build up of wind.

Infacol works

Infacol conducted what is believed to be the largest ever real-world investigation into the use of a colic medicine: the Infant Colic Real World Evidence (ICORE) study. The data from 1,892 parents has been peer-reviewed and published and the results speak for themselves.
