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. Colic is usually recognised by bouts of inconsolable crying, often for hours at a time, for no specific reason - i.e. your baby is not hungry, overtired, needs a nappy change or has a raised temperature.

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.

Colic most commonly occurs in the late afternoon and evening when your baby may cry out in pain, draw her knees up to her chest and go red in the face. Her tummy may be swollen or bloated as if she's swallowed a lot of air, and she might pass wind more than usual.

A colicky baby can be very distressing for everyone in the house. Listening to long periods of crying can leave you feeling tired, stressed and emotionally drained. Despite the intensity of your baby's cries, it is important to remember that colic is not a serious medical condition.

How soon will you ship, how long will it take, is it insured and is the packaging discreet?

Provided your order and payment is received before 3.30pm UK time on a business day it will go out the same day by 2nd class Royal Mail (1st class post is available for just 30p extra) or Priority Air Mail if you live overseas, to your registered PayPal address - so please make sure your address is correct and up to date when placing your order. All packages have no indication of content, are marked "Private and Confidential" and the contents are not visible or identifiable from the outside of the package. All shipments to all destinations are fully insured and covered in the event of loss or damage - though we will require you to follow some simple steps in order to have a refund or re-send in those rare occurrences when your shipment is lost or damaged. 

All overseas shipments are via Priority Air Mail and usually arrive in 2-4 days for Europe, 3-7 days for North America and 5-10 days to Australasia. All packages are correctly labelled including completed Customs documentation and our specific FDA Import Licence number for all North American shipments. We are legally bound to fill out the customs declarations correctly and honestly so please do not ask us to mark the package as "gift". We are also not responsible for any customs charges that might apply. As already mentioned, all shipments to all destinations are fully insured and covered in the event of loss or damage, but they will not have a tracking number as it is relatively expensive - an extra £5 - and so it is not economical for low value items such as these. If you would like us to send your order with tracking then please contact us for a revised invoice.
