Hi there, I think my 1 week old may have a bit of colic & am keen to try colocynth, anyone know if I can get it from my local pharmacy? Also I see it comes in the form of granules, how would I give this to my newborn?

we got it from Boots, but it had to be ordered. You could try googling homeopathic pharmacies, as well. Didn't work for us, though.

Think you have to put a small number of the tiny granules on baby's tongue. Difficult.
