What is the difference between Kolik water with alcohol and without alcohol in terms of health or impact on the baby? He is 7 weeks old.

The main difference between Kolik water with alcohol and without alcohol is that during the manufacturing process, alcohol is added to extract essential oils in the version with alcohol. The company claims that the amount of alcohol is safe, but they have also created a version without alcohol to reassure parents. However, the impact on infants' health and the long-term repercussions of using these products are not well-known. Therefore, it is not a product that is typically recommended for colicky babies. For colic, a probiotic like BioGaia is often suggested due to its widely studied effectiveness and safety. It is available at pharmacies without a prescription and can be recommended by a healthcare professional for optimal use for your baby.
