Colic Awareness Month

Parenthood is a rewarding and joyful experience and with September being the busiest month for births there will be lots of mums and dads beginning their adventure within the next few days.

No doubt they will have their nursery decorated beautifully for taking their new arrival home, storage units stacked with neatly folded sleepsuits and nappies, but I wonder if they will they will be prepared for colic? According to a recent survey as many as 1 in 3 British mothers had never heard of this ailment, which affects as many as 140,000 babies each year, so it's certainly a topic that should be more openly discussed.

Anti Colic Workshop with Infacol

Minxy suffered terribly with colic as a baby resulting in many a sleepless night for me, but luckily Infacol have teamed up with expert midwife Nikki Khan to offer help and advice for those going through similar now. 

The workshops will explain what colic is, how to treat and prevent it, the benefits of baby massage and there is also the chance to ask Nikki any colic related questions on a one-to-one basis. Each mum who attends will receive a goody bag (approx worth is £30), full of products for mum and baby such as baby massage oil and an anti colic bottle.

It will be a great chance to learn more about colic, meet other mothers and share the experience with your readers.

The workshop is:
