Gripe water

How often do people give their babies gripe water and how do you administer it? I’ve seen people put it in teats. My little one is 5 weeks old and is suffering with gas/colic. I did try infacol and that worked for a bit but I think he’s a bit refluxy too so I think the infacol stopped working and started making the reflux worse.

I gave it after every bottle for a while, as well as mylicon/infacol. I also switched to dr brown anti colic bottles. All of that really helped!

i have my little boy 1ml 3 x a day, morning, afternoon & evening - worked an absolute treat! i now only give it when he hasn’t been really gassy for 24 hours as he’s now super gassy & in no discomfort!

@Christina @quira how do you both give it to your little ones? My little guy is just spitting it out at the moment 😭

@Sarah i’m lucky with my little boy, he’s a greedy ass, i just used a pipette straight into the mouth, he’d swallow then i’d shove him straight on the boob so he’d associate it with boob/food

Should be 5ml at a go, during or after a feed. I use the syringe that comes in the calpol box. Only when I feel she’s gassy, not everyday

i didn’t want to overload my boys system at 5ml each time - so don’t feel as if you have to do 5ml!

You should try fennel water rather then gripe water much more natural x

I use a medicine pacifier to administer it and it works amazingly
