Gas Drops

Hello again!

So while my DS was in the NICU DH and I took a reflux class and the nurse teaching us told us that if he was having gas pains to try some gas drops especially because he's on a high calorie formula and with being a preemie the nurse was saying his digestive system is probably still a bit sluggish. Anyway sorry for the little rant, so my question is if anyone has used gas drops before did you have one that you would recommend over the other? Did you notice a difference in your LO with using them? My poor guys just grunts and strains so much and looks like he is in pain and it definitely keeps him from falling and staying asleep :/

 Thanks in advance!

    I've tried the Mylicon and Little Remedies gas drops and it helps a little but its mostly short term relief. DS seems to prefer the Little Remedies (found at Walmart) brand more not sure if its because that one has has a berry taste to it. I just tried Mothers bliss gripe water and that seemed to provide longer relief than the drops. My DS is currently going through the same gas pains as yours so GL and hope you can find some relief!

    We used little remidies and then switched to the target brand. Didn't see a difference between the two as far as results and their is a decent price difference.

    We used the mylicon gas drops (generics) and they seemed to help.  However, my preemie also had reflux, so she also started zantac.  The combo of both worked the best.
