How Does Infants’ Friend Work?
A Trusted Colic Remedy Since 1935
You’ve tried rocking, winding, cuddles, but still your baby cries. It’s exhausting, and it’s okay to admit you’re not sure what else to try.
Infants’ Friend Colic & Wind Oral Liquid has been relied on by Australian families for generations. Its gentle blend of traditional herbal ingredients is designed to help soothe wind, ease mild digestive discomfort, and support more restful sleep for unsettled babies.
The Three Active Ingredients
Each drop of Infants’ Friend contains a carefully selected combination of natural ingredients traditionally used to support infant digestion and comfort.
Chamomile
Soothes Wind and Tummy Cramps
Chamomile has long been used in Western herbal medicine to calm the digestive system. It may help ease spasms in the gut and relieve the discomfort caused by trapped gas.
Lemon Balm
Encourages Calm and Sleep
Traditionally used to reduce irritability and restlessness, lemon balm can help settle babies who struggle to relax, especially when discomfort or wind is keeping them from a good sleep.
Dill Seed Oil
Supports Digestion and Bloating
Dill seed oil is known for its calming effect on the stomach. It may help reduce bloating, support digestion, and encourage babies to pass wind more easily.
How These Ingredients Work Together
Infants’ Friend works by supporting healthy digestive function in multiple ways. The ingredients are known to:
- Soothe the digestive tract
- Help break down and release trapped gas
- Reduce restlessness linked to tummy discomfort
Together, they offer gentle support to babies experiencing wind, mild indigestion, or unsettled sleep. While each baby is different, many parents notice their little one seems calmer and more comfortable not long after a dose.
Symptoms It May Relieve
