Infacol and gripe water at the same time ? Yay or nay??

I’ve used both together in the past and as far as I’m aware it’s fine too. Not sure on the evidence behind it but I’ve heard about breastfeeding mums consuming fennel tea too to help. (I’ve seen some mums on here giving very small amounts directly to baby if they are not breastfed but I don’t know how safe that is)

We used infacol for about a week with My little girl when she couldn’t poo and it actually made her 10 times worse, when I researched it infacol can actually make babies constipated but can help with bringing up wind which is annoying as I thought it would help both, when we stopped the infacol she was able to poop much better and didn’t seem to be in as much pain or discomfort. We have also used gripe water for her wind, I think it helps a bit but I wouldn’t say it’s a miracle worker, I’ve just been winding her for longer and persevering with her until I get a burp. I’ve also stopped feeding her half way through a bottle and I’ve noticed that does help. If your concerned speak to your HV and see if they have any tricks or other ideas. Xx

I use gripe water and colief drops together , not had any problems , ger her wind up better, she has about 2 poo's per day , but we are still finding that shes still crying in the evening xxxxx

I use both together, she's getting much better with gas now so only use the infacol once a day now and she's doing well without it, but when I was using it for everyfeed I was using the gripe water for her last bottle before bed, so I'd put the 5ml of gripe water in with her milk and give her the infacol before the feed, she would always have a poo for us by the morning

Also as someone said above the infacol can actually cause constipation, when I started using it she was only going for a poo every 3 days, and since we have cut it out she's having a poo everyday now but the infacol does help with wind but what I find helps is burping them little and often, she has a 7oz feed so every 2oz I will stop and burp her, even if she doesn't bring any wind up it gets it moving, I haven't used gripe water for 3 days and didn't use infacol at all for 2 days and she's been burping and pooping fine and regular

My boy was the same struggling with passing gas, pooping ect. I was using infacol and gripe water to help but in the end I ended up taking him to the DRs who said that the two things can block each other doing their thing so he was prescribed with some lactolouse and has been amazing on it. Might be worth trying if they dont work

We use infacol every feed and use gripe water when he is noticeably uncomfortable/fussy. I add the gripe water to the bottle when he is nearly finished as then i know he’ll have the whole 5ml then. He does go through phases of not winding well and A pharmacist told me it’s because their body gets too used to it and it becomes less effective.
