Has anyone tried Colief?

We bought some colief, as we were refused it on prescription, and we've not tried it yet. I'm wondering if anyone has used it and if so, what are everyone's experiences of it? Does it work? Does it not? My baby is 9 weeks old and seems to suffer from colic.

Bath/bath seat

Are you using a bath or bath support? We switched from the Angel care bath support to the shnuggle toddler bath. With this one change our water bill decreased! I’ve noticed he’s almost growing out the shnuggle so wondering what else is out there for toddlers and saves water.

Colic

Help I thought that by now 11 weeks later my LO colic symptoms would go away. She has been inconsolable for the last couple of hours. Anyone else can relate to this situation? What would make it better? It's hard to see her screaming in pain.

Poo explosion

Our baby does one really bad poo explosion every day where we can hear him pooping and it’s extremely watery. Does anyone know if it’s normal for him to do this every day or whether we should be worried?
