Best gas drops- Gripe water or little remedies?

After spending $30 on gerbers "soothe" probiotic drops my dr recommended for gassiness I'm all out and looking to try something else.
Any suggestions?

Re: Best gas drops- Gripe water or little remedies?

  • I was told to get Mylicon gas drops for LO at her appointment last week. I have heard many use gripe water and have found it to work also.

  • I can't compare it to anything else because I've only used gripe water but I have really liked it. My daughter seems to like the taste too because she takes it right down with no problems.
  • How do you even know LO needs this??
  • We use both. I use gripe for hiccups and gas drops for gas but you may be able to use gripe for both? My daughter doesn't fight it so taste must be ok. Little remedies brand for both

  • We use the little remedies brand of gripe water when she's fussy. Works amazing. We've tried the gas drops and they didn't seem to do anything. We give her a small amount of gripe water before bed if she's fussy and she usually sleeps for 6 hours!
  • I put a drop of the Target brand of Mylicon in every bottle.  You can see the bubbles immediately disappear!
  • Little remedies gas drops works instantly on my 4 week old! Kind of weird how it calms him right down, and he has no issues taking it. Haven't tripped gripe water so I can't compare.
  • Little Remedies works best for us. We got Mommy's Bliss gripe water and it made LO more fussy! And she had horrible gas and gas pain all night long after taking it. I felt like it just made everything worse, it was such a long night for us. When we use Little Remedies she feels better in a couple minutes and is off to sleep, plus she loves the flavor.
  • I think it depends on the baby. I was just going to try some gas drops on my little one because he seems uncomfortable at times. They worked well for DS1. My sister loved gripe water for her little one though so it may work for you too! @imsoexcited915 when my little one gets gas he cries and pulls his legs up and turns really red or gets stiff and arches. When he passes gas he relaxes so this is how I can tell. He does get hiccups often too but they don't seem to bother him.
  • Does anyone know..... I got "little remedies gripe water" for his gas and hiccups but it says this is for colic and hiccups... Will it still work for the gas?

    @AmandaNacora mommys bliss gripe water also made it worse for my little one! In fact, it made his poo green and he's been screaming his head off for two days. Glad to know its not just us- and sorry for your little one being sick
