Gas Drops and Gripe Water

Starfish+77 · February 2013

Ok I'm willing to try everything and anything to deal with my DD's fussiness. When do you give gas drops vs. gripe water? Gas drops pre or post feeding? She is FF if that matters. If there is a magic potion please let me know : This was an awful weekend and I'm pretty sure it's her belly bothering her.

Little Remedies Gripe Water is a lifesaver!!! I give a little with each bottle of formula.

Do you add to each bottle? Or just give before feeding??

We give gas drops after feeding (we're only giving at night). We use gripe water if DS is still uncomfortable despite gas drops. Gripe water works best for hiccups.

We use the gas drops and love them, they seem to work very quickly. We just give him some right before almost every bottle and before bedtime.

All of this, but we do it any time of day if needed. This is what works best for us! Also, you can know it's time to use Gripe Water if you hear a gurgling tummy.

I also have been doing gas drops after each feeding at night and only if she is really fussy during the day I have done a dose of Gripe water during the day but the volume of the gripe water dose is bigger than the gas drops and DD hates taking it so I have not done it at night because I dont want to freak her out more.

We use Little Remedies Gas Drops... and its instant relief for DD! I used it for DD1 and same results... fussy to quiet and content in minutes!

I use it after she eats almost every time and when she is pushing/pulling from a rumbling tummy.

DD gets horrible hiccups often, so we give her an organic gripe water whenever she can't get rid of them on her own or we just can't console her.

My pediatrician suggested "bioGia" probiotic drops. It's once a day directly in his mouth. It helps the digestion system and gas. I am using it and my LO is much better. He's passing gas normally now without all the pressure building up. Very happy he is relieved now.

We have been using gas drops after feeding if he is fussy, it usually works within a few minutes. It has been really helpful!
