Cucumber Powders For Colic Relief Posted: 04-20-07 16:20pm
Hi I would like to know if any body out
there uses Cucumber powders for their
babies. And if you do how do you use
them?? Do you add the powder to water or
do you pour powder directly into baby's
mouth?

I'm sorry, but .i've never heard of
'cucumber powder'. However, after a quick
google search I did find out that bay
leaves are known to help with colic.
However, I would advise you to speak with
your child's doctor before starting
him/her on any home remedies. Good luck!

Thanks for your advise. Its not for my
child as I was really lucky with my 2nd
baba and he didnt suffer from colic. Its
a friend of mine who already uses the
powder but she empties the powder directly
onto baby's tongue. Ive seen the baby
"gag" a couple of times when she does this
and I am not sure its safe to put powder
onto tongue. I just wanted to know if
other mothers do this.

Oh, I see! Sorry for the confusion.
How old is the baby? One website I saw
said that "colic powder" can be given with
a spoon (without water) if the baby is
over a certain age month-wise, but .i'm
not a doctor and am not familiar with
these powders, so I couldn't say for
certain. Have you brought your concerns up
with your friend? Is she following her
doctor's advice or is she treating her
baby's colic herself?

the baby is only 3mths. the doctor did
give her the powder but not sure what was
said about how to give them. I did
mention that i didnt think she should give
powder without water. but she is not the
type of person that takes advise easily.
She also gives the baby 3hr old formula
milk that i said she should not do as you
are only supposed to use it for an hour,
but she said its ok to use the only reason
they put that on formula milk is so people
buy more!!
