Colic driving you to despair?
Looking for a solution you can trust?
For over 25 years Rhuger has been helping new mums with reflux symptoms, baby reflux remedies, colic remedies and advice on getting your babies feeding back on track.
How does Rhuger work?
Rhuger has a three way action on the surface of the stomach and gut by relaxing the smooth muscle, releasing trapped air, emptying the stomach and aiding the passage of contents through the gut. If you are using a dropper to administer the dose, use 5-10 drops or by syringe use 1 to 2 mls with equal amount of boiled water from jug. The Ginger works faster to relieve colic and reflux symptoms if warmed up. Direct dose with a syringe or doser into baby’s mouth.
From 4 weeks to 16 weeks, a baby’s stomach may double in surface area increasing the need for dosage adjustment as more air can be trapped on the surface and in the folds of the stomach and small intestine.
Directions:
For best results, faster action and a pleasant taste, dose with an equal amount of warm water.
Babies: (2 weeks) 0.5ml up to six times a day.
Infants (3 months & over) 2ml up to six times a day. Adjust dose as baby grows and symptoms ease.
Tips for Breastfeeding Mothers:
Seek advice from your Midwife, Lactation Consultant or Plunket Nurse, as it may be stressful breastfeeding when poor latching occurs with increasing let down or sore nipples.
Remain calm, anxiety can be transferred to suckling baby.
Persist with little supply – this will usually change and increase.
There is no one correct feeding position your baby and you should adhere to, whatever works for you.
You don’t have to have a schedule. Feed in response to your baby.
Tips for treating breastfeeding babies:
Thrush, probiotics help, express off to help heal the nipples and reduce spread. Treat with an antifungal cream or gel for oral use in baby.
Colic - cut dairy first, reduce alcohol intake, leafy vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, spicy foods, beans).
Vitamin D helps lactation and passes through to baby helps growth.
Caffeine (not certain) but do not exceed 300mg ie. 2 cups a day or 4 cups of tea per day.
Even if allergies are present it’s okay to eat peanuts also okay to eat cheese, does not cause listeriosis like it can in pregnancy.
Heat rash - keep skin cool (calamine cream on baby’s skin) will calm rash. Avoid occlusive applications, barrier creams may increase skin temperature.
Eczema (dry, itching) treatment is prophylaxis only, emollients and mild strength Hydrocortisone 1% on unbroken skin is considered safe.
Spotty skin (milia) common 2-3 weeks after birth, from oil glands, and residual hormones after birth. If left will subside after 6 weeks or so.
Cradle cap on scalp or on body (serborrhoeic dematitis), may try olive oil before going to Ego products. As baby grows may wish to check, use of irritants in home, ie. soaps, detergents etc
Baby Milestones:
