virtual colic support

virtual colic support

I have been asked to have a look at infacols new ‘virtual colic support centre’www.colichelp.co.uk
This is their press release introducing the service to me.
Infacol – worlds first virtual colic clinic for parents.
A new web app aims to bring reassurance to parents worried about colic, whatever the time of day or night.
On average, anxious first-time mothers make 16 trips to the doctor over a childs first year, with colic being in the top three concerns of new mums.
Colic affects up to one in four babies. It is often associated with crying fits which may last for three hours or more, and occurs mostly in the late afternoon, evenings and night-time, unfortunately when GPs are often not available. Cuddling or trying to soothe the babys doesn’t always help, which can be very stressful for parents.
The virtual colic clinic app, launched by Infacol (Simeticone), Britain’s number 1 selling infant colic remedy, is the first of its kind. It offers a new way for parents to get immediate, 24/7 support by accessing video response answers to important questions about dealing with colic; either through a smartphone, tablet or desktop.
“we know that anxious parents are turning more to online research as GPs are unavailable late into the evening, which is when colic can hit. Infacol want to give new mums and dads someone to turn to when in need of this extra support and guidance, at any time of the day or night” says Nikki Khan, Infacols expert midwife.
Designed to answer the questions of parents on the subject of colic and provide extra support for parents in need, with the help of midwife Nikki Khan, the launch follows the success of the ‘Is it colic?’ web app, which helps to quickly identify whether a baby has colic through ten simple yes/no questions.
The 24/7 virtual colic clinic works by encouraging parents to choose from 50 of the most commonly asked questions around colic from a drop down menu or alternatively to type their own, and then providing them with an instant video answer from Nikki Khan.
The virtual colic clinic can be accessed atwww.colichelp.co.uk via multiple device platforms including smartphones, tablets and desktops.




Nobody warns new parents about what to expect when a child starts to develop colic, for first time parents it can be a really anxious time of worrying that there is something seriously wrong with baby or thinking maybe something you are doing is wrong.
Numerous visits to the GP with an apparent happy baby stress parents to the point of despair whilst seeking answers as the problems generally effects babies later in the day.
Even some experienced parents get caught out as colic can effect some babies differently to others, not to mention Granny appearing with the bottle of gripe water that gets spat literally everywhere!
Most people have heard of colic but how many people can actually tell you the facts about how it may affect your child?
The fantastic new ‘Virtual colic support centre’ does just that.
It is there 24/7 to answer every question regarding colic you may have and even diagnoses colic.

Information of this site should be given to all new mums and dads as the amount of stress that can be lifted by getting 
answers about why baby seems to be in pain and constantly crying is invaluable.
The site has a simple to understand layout firstly giving two options. The virtual colic clinic and is your baby showing signs of colic.



The ‘is your baby showing signs of colic’ part of the site asks ten simple questions to advise whether or not your baby is likely to have colic.



The ‘virtual colic clinic’ part offers all the answers to the questions you might have about colic. These can be accessed by either searching through the possible questions in a drop down menu or by simply typing the question in.
All answers to your questions are given in video form by infacols midwife as if it is a face to face meeting!
The website also shows where to buy infacol, which is even available in some 24 hour stores if parents cant wait until morning!


This is a brilliant service which has the potential to help many parents.
Spread the word!
