Get ready to discover how this magical little bottle can transform your nights!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quest-ce_que_le_julep_gommeux_exactement\"><\/span>What exactly is gummy julep?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/julep-gommeux-soulagement-coliques-bebe-naturel-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Gummy Julep to relieve baby&#039;s colic naturally\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 5px;\"><\/p>\n<p>Gum julep, also known as Marfan's potion or milk of lime, is a medicinal preparation you'll find in pharmacies. Its composition is super-simple: limewater (calcium hydroxide) and gum arabic. There's nothing chemical or aggressive about it!<\/p>\n<p>Limewater acts as a natural antacid, neutralizing gastric acidity, while gum arabic provides a protective, soothing effect on digestive walls. This mixture creates a slightly whitish solution that looks a little like milk, hence the nickname \"milk of lime\".<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #efefef; color: black; border-radius: 10px; padding: 15px; margin: 20px 0;\"><p>\nGummy julep is a traditional remedy made from limewater and gum arabic, specially designed to soothe digestive disorders in infants. \u2705\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This <strong>natural medicine<\/strong> has been around for decades, bringing relief to millions of babies! Pediatricians and midwives regularly prescribe it as the first line of defence against colic, before considering other, stronger treatments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_quoi_sert_vraiment_le_julep_gommeux\"><\/span>What's the point of gummy juleps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gummy julep is your best ally against infant colic. Those infamous fits of inconsolable crying that usually occur at the end of the day and can last for hours! Your baby squirms, turns all red, clenches his little fists... it's really hard to live with.<\/p>\n<p>This anti-colic baby care intervenes on several fronts. First, it reduces the intestinal gas that causes those unbearable abdominal pains. Secondly, it calms the gastric acidity that can cause reflux and heartburn in your newborn.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Les_bienfaits_sur_la_digestion\"><\/span>Benefits for digestion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your baby's digestive system is still immature in its first months. The gummy julep aids digestion by creating a softer environment in the baby's tummy. Nutrients pass through better, spasms diminish, and your baby becomes more comfortable!<\/p>\n<p>Many parents notice a rapid improvement: baby sleeps better, cries less and smiles more. Isn't that exactly what we're looking for?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comment_bien_administrer_le_julep_gommeux_a_ton_bebe\"><\/span>How do you administer gummy julep to your baby?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uZScOFoEmKE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 5px;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Visit <strong>dosage of gummy julep<\/strong> must always be followed to the letter. Generally speaking, we recommend between 1 and 3 teaspoons a day, to be given before meals. But only your paediatrician or midwife can determine the exact dose for your baby's age and weight!<\/p>\n<p>Administration is super-easy. You can use a teaspoon or a needle-free oral syringe (available in pharmacies). Give the julep slowly, in small quantities to prevent your baby from choking. Some babies love the slightly sweet taste, others grimace... it's a lottery!<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #efefef;\">\n<th>Baby's age<\/th>\n<th>Suggested dosage<\/th>\n<th>Frequency<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>0 to 1 month<\/td>\n<td>1 teaspoonful<\/td>\n<td>1 to 2 times a day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 to 3 months<\/td>\n<td>1 to 2 teaspoons<\/td>\n<td>2 to 3 times a day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3 to 6 months<\/td>\n<td>2 to 3 teaspoons<\/td>\n<td>2 to 3 times a day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quelques_petits_trucs_pour_faciliter_la_prise\"><\/span>Here are a few tips to help you get the hang of it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your baby is reluctant, you can mix the julep with a little breast milk or infant formula. It often goes down better! Always feed at room temperature, never cold or hot.<\/p>\n<p>Timing also counts: ideally 15 to 30 minutes before bottle-feeding or feeding. This gives the julep time to take effect and set the stage for quiet digestion. \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combien_de_temps_peut-on_conserver_le_julep_gommeux\"><\/span>How long can you keep gummy juleps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/soulager-coliques-bebe-julep-gommeux-naturel-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Relieve baby&#039;s colic with natural gummy julep\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 5px;\"><\/p>\n<p>Here's a super-important question! Gummy julep usually comes in a 110 ml bottle. Once opened, you need to keep it in the fridge and use it within 15 days. After that, it's off to the garbage can, even if there's any left!<\/p>\n<p>Before opening, you can keep it at room temperature in your home medicine cabinet. Always check the expiration date on the bottle. Don't forget to shake the bottle well before each use, as the components may separate naturally.<\/p>\n<p>A word of advice: note the opening date directly on the bottle label. With the fatigue of the first few weeks, it's easy to forget these details! Prevention is better than cure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Qui_peut_prescrire_du_julep_gommeux\"><\/span>Who can prescribe gummy julep?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your <strong>pediatrician<\/strong> is obviously your first port of call for a prescription for gummy julep. But you can also consult your midwife, who is qualified to prescribe this type of treatment during your baby's first months of life.<\/p>\n<p>Some pharmacies also offer gummy julep preparations without a prescription, but I'd really advise you to consult a health professional first. Every baby is different, and what works for the little one next door won't necessarily be right for yours!<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #efefef; color: black; border-radius: 10px; padding: 15px; margin: 20px 0;\"><p>\nGummy julep should be administered according to the dosage prescribed by a healthcare professional and can be kept for 15 days in the refrigerator after opening. \ud83d\udc4d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_suivi_medical_reste_primordial\"><\/span>Medical follow-up remains essential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although gummy julep is a mild medication, it does require follow-up. If there's no improvement after a few days, or if symptoms worsen, contact your doctor again. Colic can sometimes hide other, more serious digestive problems.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quels_sont_les_effets_secondaires_possibles\"><\/span>What are the possible side effects?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The good news is that gummy julep has very few side effects! The product's natural composition generally makes it very well tolerated by infants. That's why it's been prescribed for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Some babies may experience temporary constipation, due to the calcium carbonate present in limewater. This is nothing to worry about, and usually settles itself after a few days. In rare cases, babies may feel slightly drowsy after taking the product.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to find out more about digestive disorders in infants, you can also read our detailed article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appareil-minceur.fr\/en\/health\/recipe-for-clear-broth-for-colonoscopy\/\">digestive preparations for sensitive babies<\/a>.

If your baby has kidney problems or calcium metabolism disorders, your doctor will probably avoid prescribing it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Existe-t-il_des_alternatives_au_julep_gommeux\"><\/span>Are there any alternatives to gummy juleps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course it is!
