  • 3\. Apart from the colic, the infant was to suffer from no other condition/disease
  • 4\. If any medication had been administered to the infant to relieve the symptomatology of colic prior to the commencement of treatment (whether prescribed or over\-the\-counter drugs) the infant was required to remain on the same medication for the duration of the study, if the medication was required
  • 5\. Written informed consent was to be obtained from a parent before participation in the study
