Gripe Water Question...different

JandJ-A · November 2011

Okay, we use 2 different ones for DD. One is Colic Calm, which stains whatever material it gets on and is difficult to get out; however, it works very well most of the time (and I get a kick out of seeing her suck it off her lips and make her cute sounds, not to mention the black lips and mouth until I wipe them clean). The other one we us is the regular Gripe Water from Little Tummys. One of my cousins recommends that I use Colic Ease.

So, which brand do you use? I've tried the sugar water, but DD doesn't much care for it.

And do you think it would be ok to add any of them to her formula? I've considered it, but I'm not sure...especially the Colic Calm, as it's black (due to one of the ingredients).

TIA!!!

I used Mommy's Bliss for both my LO's. Although this second one didn't seem to need it as long as my first.

ive been using Little tummies gripe water and it didnt help...I bought some Colic Calm and have had the best 2 days! Although its a pain with the staining and the extra carefulness you have to take in giving it -its worth it!

We use Colic calm and according to the directions, you can mix it in formula or pumped breastmilk. I pretreat the stains before washing and so far, it has come out in the wash

Love my colic calm!! I think it would be fine to put it in LO's bottle, however, I would worry about the colic calm turning the milk black and making an even bigger mess (our LO dribbles milk all over herself when feeding). Also, if it make you feel better, we only used colic calm for 3-4 weeks and then she no longer needed it.
