I see so many mothers using these colic products. Is there any sound
evidence for their effectiveness?
Lots of my patients [especially bottlefeeding ones] here in the Eastern
United States try these drops [Mylicon is a brand name here]. If my
parents want to try them I tell them to go ahead and try, saying: "Some
parents swear they work, others say they don't do a thing."
I've heard that there's studies on both sides. Personally, I think they
"work" by making the parent feel better....
