We use gas drops with every feeding, but only Gripe Water when he is extremely fussy and casey and has lasted for a specific period of time. As of right now, he is having Gripe Water 2-3 times per week for the last 2 weeks.
Signs of discomfort. Ours says no more than 6 times in 24 hours. It works right away, so doing it at certain times to avoid the gas/fuss isn't important.
since its expensive we use when we have to, as PP as a last resort, we try rocking, walking, swaddling, the swing...if none of those work then we use the gripe water. seems to work, but I don't know if its cus after all that screaming he just wore himself out!
