Remedies for babies and children:

For babies, tablets should be crushed between two clean teaspoons and dissolved in 2fl oz of warm water, giving a teaspoon full as a dose. For young children, the tablets should be given crushed. Chamomilla is available in drop form.

Colic:

Sharp abdominal pain which can cause babies great distress. In breast-fed babies, colic can be caused by spicy or acidic food in the mother's diet, or the mother's anxiety. In bottle-fed infants, air swallowing is the most likely cause.
