The first 100 days with a newborn can be exciting, tiring and full of questions. Learn what to expect with sleep, feeding, colic and your baby's early development, plus practical tips for Kiwi parents.
Feeling overwhelmed as a Kiwi mum? Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic! It can show up as exhaustion, anxiety, low motivation or emotional overwhelm. Here’s what to look out for and where to find support across Aotearoa.
Colic Calm and Colic Calm Plus are made with premium-quality homeopathic botanicals, sourced organically where possible. Unlike essential oils, organic status is less critical, but purity and suitability for babies remain the focus.
Are you unsure if your baby’s crying is due to colic or just tummy discomfort? Learn the key signs, gentle soothing strategies, and when to seek advice, tailored for NZ parents.
Looking for natural ways to support your baby through colic? This gentle guide covers practical tips like feeding adjustments, probiotics, massage, and calming routines to bring comfort during those long, unsettled evenings. Created for Kiwi parents navigating the newborn stage with care and confidence.
Infant colic and reflux-like symptoms can be difficult to tell apart. This guide explores the common signs, possible causes, and gentle support strategies many New Zealand parents use to navigate this early phase with confidence and care.
Understanding the reasons behind a baby's cry is crucial for parents as it's their primary way of communicating their needs and wants. Common causes of crying include hunger, dirty diaper, sleepiness, discomfort, overstimulation, illness, pain, gas, colic, and reflux. Responding appropriately to a baby's cries can help soothe and comfort them. It's important to remember that crying is a natural behaviour for babies, and with time and practice, parents can learn to identify and address the causes of their baby's distress.
My 5 week old baby started bringing up portions of each feed and getting uncomfy with trapped wind. When using Colic Calm, no more throw ups! Its amazing! Just wish the bottle had a syringe stopper to make it easier than getting the black liquid all over the syringe when filling it
Hi Jess, we're so glad to hear Colic Calm is helping your little one! Thanks for your feedback on the syringe; we'll pass it along to see if we can improve the design. Wishing you and your baby all the best!
Thank goodness I tried this!! My 13 month old wakes up upset in the night several times every night since 6 months old, with a sore tummy. We have used this for 3 nights now and no sore tummy! Only waking for a cuddle or pat. I will continue buying this for as long as I need if it helps everyone’s sleep!
So pleased to hear that Tummy Calm has made such a difference for your family, Brooklyn. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It's lovely to hear your little one has settled so much over the past few nights, and hopefully everyone is getting a bit more rest now.
Amazing product we have used since he was just 2 months old
Our little boy is turning 1 soon and this has consistently been one of the best products we have used on him that help him and is super effective. The price point is a bit high but so worth it.
Dear Nivisha, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We know there are lots of products to choose from, so it means a great deal to hear that you feel Colic Calm has been worth it for your family.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope your little boy has a wonderful 1st birthday!
Highly recommend. Has helped our little bubba get through the tough tummy symptoms that come from changes. Love and will buy again!
Hi Shauni, we are so happy to hear that our probiotic has helped your little bubba! Thank you for your lovely review and support. We really appreciate it and look forward to supporting your family again in the future.

We are so happy to hear that Colic Calm made such a difference for your family and helped make those challenging days a little easier. Hearing from happy parents absolutely makes our day!!!
Just a quick note for anyone reading - it looks like your review is about Colic Calm, but it was posted on our Probiotic + D3 page. Both products are popular with families, but they are different products.
Thank you again for your trust in both Colic Calm NZ products and for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate it.
