How to give BabyKalm to a newborn and a child under one year old
The dosage, duration and frequency of admission are determined by the doctor depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disease, the age and weight of the child.
On average, the dosage of BabyKalma is 10 drops per dose. An emulsion is given before feeding, 2 - 4 times a day.
Shake the bottle well before use until the contents become homogeneous. Then, using a convenient pipette built into the bottle cap, we measure out 10 drops.
The product is already ready for use, you can give it in pure form. If it is difficult for the baby to swallow the undiluted solution, it is allowed to add drops to boiled water or milk and give to drink.
The multiplicity of receiving the emulsion varies with the intensity of gas formation.
It is better to take BabyKalm only if a child has symptoms of bowel dysfunction. If the baby's condition has improved, you can skip taking the drug or reduce the frequency. Do not give this remedy to prevent colic in a child.
In the instructions for use BabyKalma is allowed to be used for newborns. But do not forget that, along with medication, it is necessary to pay attention to the cause of the child's problems.
Real colic does not begin until the child is two weeks old. But why do some mothers start to face increased gas production, stool disorder at an earlier age? The answer is simple - errors in the mother's diet, improper attachment or irrational artificial feeding
BabyKalm is not addictive, its use is permissible until the symptoms disappear completely.
Is an allergy to BabyKalm possible?
Unfortunately, allergies are not uncommon in babies. The active ingredients of BabyKalma are oils, therefore they are capable of provoking allergic reactions in children. As a precautionary measure, it is worth giving your child an allergy test to these drops.
To do this, at the first use, it is necessary to reduce the dosage to 2 - 4 drops and observe the child during the day.
When evaluating the result of the test, pay attention to the skin for a rash or irritation. Long-term use of BabyKalma also contributes to the development of allergic reactions.

Reviews of doctors and parents
After analyzing the doctors' reviews, we can conclude about the safety of taking BabyKalm, because only natural ingredients are included in the composition. The drug is quite effective, it acts quickly due to its form of release. The drops are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, and an improvement in the baby's condition is observed after 15 to 20 minutes.
The main danger that doctors warn about is an increase in the frequency of use more than 4 times a day and long-term use of the drug. The oils included in the composition provoke allergic reactions with prolonged use.
Feedback from parents is positive in 90% of cases.
Mothers like the low price, speed of action and natural ingredients. Many mothers report softening of the stool, which helps babies prone to constipation. Although the manufacturer does not position BabyKalm as a cure for constipation.
Of the shortcomings of the mother, a short shelf life is noted, often you have to throw out a half-empty bottle.
Thus, BabyKalm is a natural preparation consisting only of herbal ingredients. Has an effective carminative, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. All this indicates the possibility of using the drug for children under one year old, and the low price and high quality are the undoubted advantages of BabyKalma.
