Gripe Water ?

Is it good to keep giving DD gripe water? She's been on it since she was like six weeks old, I think. I've tried to give her less, but then she's having problems. TIA!

    We stil use it for tummy issues. In the beginning we would use it for fussiness/colic symptoms. LO didn't mind taste and didn't react badly so we used it once or twice a day. Now we use about once a week

    If it works keep using it. Talk to Dr if you have concerns. I noticed my LO does better when we use it constantly then when we stopped.

    My pediatrician recommended Gripe Water when my LO was just 2 weeks old becasue she has such bad gas pains. He said the simethicone aka. milacon, gas drops were ok to give but that Gripe Water was better, it is natural, non-medicated and easier on the digestive system. the milacon or gas drops made my LO constipated. But the gripe water has been great. If LO is still having problems you might ask your dr about a corn syrup aka. Kayro. Most dr.s try 1 tsp. in a 4 oz. bottle for constipation, but for my LO 1/2 tsp in a bottle helped immensly with gas and gas pains!
