Recommend your colic solutions/gas drops

What do you prefer? Gripe water? Mylicon? Colic Calm? DS is starting to get a little fussy and frustrated when he needs to pass gas and I'm looking for solutions. Thank you!

My LO gets really bad gas about 10 minutes after she eats. She usually cries when she's trying to pass it. We use Mylicon. Someone just told me it works better before a feeding. We tried that last feeding, and she only cried a little bit! Hope that helps

Baby Bliss gripe water, tummy rubbing, bicycling legs on back work for us.

Thanks! I'm going to get the Mylicon for sure but am wondering what folks think particularly about the gripe waters. Love your DD's name, BTW!

I haven't tried gripe water, but the person who gave me the tip about the Mylicon did. He said it really knocked his LO out when he used it, and he didn't like that. I know nothing about it though, sorry!

Baby Bliss Gripe Water.  Seems to help.  Our ped told us to use Mylicon as a last resort, he said it can slow down the digestive track, so if there is trapped gas it will actually slow it coming out.  Aggressive burping has made a difference for us too, and sitting up 30 minutes after every meal.
