if you use gripe water...

Do you give it to LO from the dropper or in a bottle?  When/how often do you give it?  Thanks.

  • From the dropper, because I BF and DD doesn't get bottles very often. I only give it occasionally when she has a bad case of the hiccups.

  • In the bottle and not at every feeding but for sure the one before he goes to bed.
  • I give it in a dropper, the reccomended dose. He gets it when he's having trouble getting gas/poop out and he's in a lot of pain from it.

  • From the dropper.  My son must like it because he sucks it straight out of there.

  • In the dropper and when he's F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G out.(It says not to give it more than 6x/day on the package) I just assume it MUST be digesting issues so I calm him enough so he won't choke on it and drop it on in, put him in the swing and wait. Works every
