Gas drops? Yay or nay?

LO is super grunty and gassy... Have gas drops worked for you? What brand do you use?

I know they worked wonders for my sister's baby who had terrible painful gas, can't remember the brand though. They used them at each feeding about half way through the bottle.

Yes! I had Mommy's bliss Gripe water. It worked, but didn't seem to last long. I also was given walmart's equate brand gas drops (simethicone) and those worked like a charm! I'll still try the gripe water first but the gas drops are a life saver!

I loved them with DD. We used Little Tummies

Yes! LO has been screaming in the middle of the night, for 2 to 3 hours at a time. For the past two nights, we've given him Little Tummies gas drops, not the gripe water. Both nights, he woke up with normal hunger whimpers at 2am, 4am, and 6am. What a difference! We hope the drops are what's really helping him, and that he continues to have good nights.

I used mommys bliss gripe water as well. Also if you so use gripe water make sure you read the directions, some brands need to be refrigerated.

When my baby was old enough I used something called bobo vita. It's written all in polish so you have to google the info on it and directions. It worked wonders! My dd was colicky and it was brutal. She screamed for 5 hours every night non stop for 4 months!! I tried everything. Once I used the bobo vita it worked wonders! She would fart and it helped release the trapped gas

I say yes, why not?! I need to be a little more regular about using them versus waiting until DS is clearly suffering!

We use Up and Up, Targets brand, and they work great.

I was worried about giving her gas drops too soon so I called the nurse at our ped office. She is 5 days old and they said gas drops are fine just follow the directions on the package. It is too soon for gripe water though. She has to be at least 2 weeks old for that.
