Gripe water.

Heya ladies. A friend of mine recommended Gripe water for my 5 week olds gas issues. I only gave her a quarter teaspoon and it worked like a charm. Question is how often do you give this to your baby? Obviously "as needed", but is everyday ok if she seems in pain? I'm a first timer here, and it is weird giving my baby anything from a syringe.

  • You can give it every half hour, if needed, and up to 6 times in 24 hours. Im pretty sure all brands are the same but check the box to be sure.
    We put it in DDs bottle or in a nipple so its easy for her to take.

  • My son gets it as needed for hiccups - it's amazing for that! We also put a half dose in his bedtime bottle. He gets probably 1-2 doses every day. You can give them up to 6 doses per day.
