Gripe Water

Does anybody have any experience with Gripe Water? Do you recommend it? Alcohol-free or No?

I used it a lot with DD but I honestly can't tell you if it actually worked. I really felt like no matter what I did, she was gassy for like the first 8 weeks, then she just kinda got over it. We did eventually have her on reflux medicine too, so maybe that helped as well? But I think we used the alcohol free stuff.

We tried it with DD, but the mylicon drops worked better for her.

We use it every once in a blue moon for DS, but the first 6 weeks, nothing worked for him - not even the mylicon gas drops. Still, I think it's nice to have the gas drops and the gripe water on hand in the house, just in case it does the trick.

We used it mostly for hiccups as well. Sometimes it helped her stomach & sometimes it didn't. I think it's definitely good to have on hand though.

Similar to pp I gave it to my dd for hiccups and it worked, but not sure how well it actually worked for her gas. But I have friends that swear by it.

Gripe water for hiccups, gas drops for gas. Used them, loved them, will use them again if LO needs it.
