Gripe Water ?

GoodyWife06 · April 2010

I keep hearing people mention Gripe Water. What is it supposed to help with, and does it work?

Gas, hiccups, tummy issues and I swear by it.

Amazing!! Buy a few at a time, and keep it in stock.

ditto. since i breastfeed, i have to give it to her by dropper, and sometimes even the act of having her slowly drink it out of the dropper will be enough to calm her down a few notches, which can be a godsend when she is in a gas-induced/colicky frenzy.

I'll have to give it a try! Are there different brands or just one?

where can you get gripe water?

katie.i.do · April 2010

i think there are different brands. i found them in the same place you'd find mylicon gas drops and other baby medicines at walgreens.

Is one brand better than another? We have the Little Tummys brand but I havent used it yet.

I bought ours at a whole foods (type) store. I think it's like prenatal vitamins. There are different brands, but the same stuff in all of them. I could be wrong, though.

Our Pedi said that Gripe Water has Alcohol in it and "wouldn't recommend it". Our DS is SO gassy and we called to ask just before DH ran out to buy it. Did anyone anyone's pedi say it was ok? I know lots of people use it for gas an hiccups and I want to give it a try too.

There are different brands, but they are all the same content. The difference is the price. I've been using it for about a week now, and I love the way it helps Eli. He was getting gassy and having a hard time passing it but the Gripe Water helps so much. Also, you can get it almost anywhere they sell infant supplements; sauch as Walgreens, CVS, Target.

hm, my bottle says specifically that it doesn't have alcohol in it. its ingredients are listed as organic, things like ginger, chamomile, fennel seed extract..

here is a link to the type i have, which includes a link to ingredients listing.

My pedi said to only use it if LO is really uncomfortable b/c he doesn't want him getting too much extra water.

Peans · April 2010

We use Baby Bliss brand (got it at walgreens)....I only use it one time a day usually if she is really uncomfortable screaming, legs up, arched back and it seems to calm her almost immediately.

This has been a lifesaver for us. Cadie would get really fussy every night at 8:30 and it would last until midnight. Now I give her the gripe water in her bottle around that time and we haven't had a single issue.
