Has any parent on here used "Gripe Water" for a colicy infant and what were your experiences?

My daughter is 1 month old and we’ve been struggling with colic. I had heard about gripe water and decided to give it a try because at that point i was desperate. It seems to be working and is making a huge difference in her. It is a bit pricey though 12 bucks for a bottle.

Answer #1

My daughter wasn’t really a colicy baby (she rarely cried actually) but the few times her tummy seemed to be bothering her Gripe Water really helped. It sounds like snake oil but my experiences were positive.

Answer #2

I tried it when my my brother was 2 months, I had heard about Gripe water from a friend at that time and I was desperate so I gave a chance and it made a huge progress. He always had an upset tummy, Gripe water was the solution although it was expensive its worth it..

Answer #3

Also, it depends what are you eating? are you breastfeeding. I would also recommend you speak to a pedi.

Answer #4

You know, you might try some Pediacure. It couldn’t hurt. I mean, if you have a colicy baby,….it’s wortha try. Ask your pediatrician 1st just to be safe. Good luck : )
