Colic

While researching colic I came across this tidbit that I found amusing. I think you should know:

"Historically, and until recently colic was often treated with paregoric, a camphorated tincture of opium, but this practice has largely discontinued."

Haha. Just drug the kid to get them to quit crying. Thought you should know.

  1. Paregoric was awesome stuff. We had a bottle when I was little. Mom never used it for colic, but there was nothing like it for diarrhea.

    Glad you aren't dealing with colic. Not fun.
