Book Review: Great Reference
Summary: 5 Stars
As of today there have been 33 reviews of "Colic Solved" and 32 of them have been 5 stars (the other one is a 4-star review). That is an incredible percentage for a book on Amazon. The reason - "Colic Solved" is an invaluable reference for those of us with babies with Colic and/or Acid Reflux. While it is unable to "Solve" colic it does help give you strategies for coping and how to interact with your doctor.
One of the keys is to realize that "colic" is a generic term that really doesn't describe a treatable condition. It is a catch-all that is given to babies that cry... a lot. What "Colic Solved" does is it helps to break through the confusion and give you facts - such as what most people call colic is in fact "Acid Reflux" . This is a good thing - in a way - and while acid reflux can not be cured (only time can do that) there are things to do to help minimize your babies pain. That is key, if you have ever experienced a baby that cries uncontrollably you know that hope is invaluable.
Things covered
