Gripe Water??

shannij · 11-01-2009, 06:45 PM

Has anyone used this? B seems to have colic so for the first time I got some of this. It seems to work some and help with the fussiness. He is quite the screamer though

and spoilt already

I've never tried it. Is it advertised for colic-relief? If so, I'm all for trying it! Nolan seems to have colic and it's so challenging sometimes. I take him to the chiro for colic (started with Addison) but haven't gotten there enough to make much difference yet. I hope that we can get on a better schedule and get it working for us.

I haven't used Gripe water, but we have used Mylicon which is gas-relief stuff. Good luck with the colic. Brinley has some crying spells in the evening and it is tough. I don't know if I could call it colic, but she will cry several hours a few times a week for what we think is no reason. Tons of fun.

We think Annaliese has colic on top of her reflux. We changed her formula a week and a half ago and changed her from Zantac to Prevacid two days ago. The formula change helped with the spitting up but not with the gagging and cough (from the acid). But she just cries for hours on end every other day it seems, sometimes more often. I don't know how those of you with multiple kids do it cuz I'm going crazy with just the one. She is so spoiled already too...which is my fault. I just wish she felt better.

BTW what is gripe water?

We've tried generic gas relief drops for all of the kids. I think it *might* have helped some with P&C but not at all with Addison or Nolan
