Gripe Water vs. Gas Drops

SummerLove21 · January 2015

DD has been really gassy the last few days and acting really uncomfortable. The pedi recommended a few things, but also said we could do gripe water or mylecon drops. Does anyone have a recommendation of one over the other? DS didn't have this particular problem so I'm out of my element here.

TIA!!!

I always liked gripe water better.

We had the same experience as @luxannie. We even tried the Windi and it didn't really do anything either. I did hear of other people who had success with it though.

What is a Windi?? @kbates85 and @luxannie

I ended up picking up both, but burping her every few minutes during nursing as suggested by the pedi actually helped a ton. She was a totally different baby last night. But I'll probably hold on to both for a few weeks just in case.

That Windi thing looks a little scary...

We liked gripe water-I would do that as then bicycle his legs and massage his tummy until I got a good toot

Our doctor said gripe water has actual ginger in it which is why ginger ale helps adults tummy aches, so she suggested stick with gripe water.

Umm, @luxannie, does that go up their butt??

HAHAHAHHAHAA, OHHH HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO.

I do, however; believe in the Nose Frieda. My mother-in-law is Japanese and she said in their culture (old days not now) the women would put their mouth over the baby's nose and suck out the snot. I rather use the Nose Frieda.
