gripe water?

Is it really the liquid gold that everyone says it is? We changed her formula to Enfamil Gentlease and that has helped alot but she still has a little gas here and there which does not make her happy. The gas drops that we have didn't help a whole lot so I just gave her some gripe water in her bottle.

    It never worked for DD.  :(  We just had to burp her extra after she ate to try and get rid of the gas.

    Some babies are just gassy no matter what you do. Gripe water and Mylicon were magical for Abby. Did nothing for Emily.

    Gripe water was worthless for us, Mylicon was great.  Catie also did better when we switched to Dr. Brown's bottles, but they're a huuuuge PITA to clean.

    i've tried both gripe water and mylicon. kid hates the taste of both, so i end up wiping more up from his chin than anything else. not sure if it ever worked since he never actually swallowed it. we just burp a lot longer after he eats (sometimes works) or we try to make him fart it out in the morning. he seems to sleep okay now even though i hear him swallow a lot of air during his night feedings.

    They work for DD (both Mylicon and Gripe Water).  I also have some tummy soother from Gentle Natural that works as well.

    You know you can add it to their bottle, right?  Might help.

    he only gets a bottle in the morning, and it already has the vitamin D drops in it. his gassiness is worst at night. he seems to be handling gas a lot better now, but we should've tried giving him a bottle at night instead when he was younger and adding it in there. lessons learned for later. :)
