Hi Ladies, have any of you used gripe water? I googled it and there are a few different brands. My little guy fusses like his tummy is bothering him,he hunches up,screams and gets horrible hiccups. I have tried the gas drops and they seem to bring him some relief but I was wondering if anyone can recommend the gripe water?
Some days he is just fine and others (like today) he would go from smiling and cooing to full on screaming. From 7 am-1pm it was pretty much crying with maybe 10 minute breaks in between.. It seemed to soothe him if I rubbed his belly so it leads me to believe it was hurting him or bothering him.
So, I thought maybe the gripe water might help?
Re: Gripe Water
Thanks, I might try and pick up a few brands and see what works best. BTW,your little girl is adorable!
Have you considered gas drops? I think those work very well when she has stubborn gas or bubbles.
Used Gripe Water when LO had really bad hiccuping and it seemed to help witb that. Have read Gripe Water better for stomach related troubles and gas drops for intestines. There are also Hyland's Colic Tablets; friend swears by them for her LO. I cant get them to dissolve in my gals mouth when she would need it because she's dried out her mouth from screaming.
This is the brand I use. My DH tasted a drop of it, and said it tastes like flat sprite without the sweetness. LOL.
I wish this brand worked this well for me. However, I don't use the full amount, cause I feel like that is a LOT, so maybe it's my bad. LOL.
I know what you mean about the dosage seeming like a lot! I had to re-read the instructions a few times. But it worked wonders,that and the vodka/fresca drink I made myself after getting him to bed! After the day we had yesterday I really needed that drink!
