Educate me about Gripe Water......

Max gets bad gass from gulping down my breast milk (i have oversupply/forceful letdown issues) and the mylecon doesn't do that much for him.  i can still hear him grunting and it interrupts his sleep.  I bought some gripe water today at BRU and am thinking about giving it a shot...

wanted to hear some of your experiences with it (i know i know, everyone is different...blah blah blah....just humor me)

TIA

  • worked so fast for my LO. the first time i gave it to him, he fell asleep in less than 5 minutes, before  that he was screaming like a banshee. i too had forceful letdown issues. HTH.

  • I've only found it useful for curing hiccups.  But I've also found that an equal amount of juice or even water has about the same success rate.  I also got turned off when I realized how much sugar is in it. (Probably not more than juice - but I don't see paying that much for sugar water with a few extra herbs in it.)

    It's definitely worth a shot, because it does work for some. But don't get too excited yet.

  • I have forceful letdown and an oversupply too, but I haven't seen that much difference with it but then again my little one has mastered the art of spitting like 95% of it out.
