Experience W/ Colic Calm Gripe Water ? Prevacid/Zantac Not Working

Kid Heading off to College Question

I don't mean the extra long sheets and the quick dry towels, I mean the things that you got the "emergency" text/email about, that you had to package up and send them, that you didn't know to send them with. I want her to be as well prepared as possible! :) Thanks for any input!
