Little Tummys Gripe Water vs. Colic Calm?
Just wondering if there is a difference. Sonya has little bouts of gas during the day and/or night that keep her from resting comfortably. We tried Mylicon, which seemed a little harsh on her tummy. We've been doing gripe water a few times a day in her bottles; it's ok--not sure if it needs more time to work--but i wonder if anyone tried colic calm? Any difference? I wouldn't say she's textbook colicy or anything...she just has periods of gas which makes her clearly sad and i can see her pulling up her knees, etc, to try and get relief. She burps well, but she struggles to pass gas sometimes. ps: i also don't want to "jump around" from thing to thing. tempted to give mylicon another go but i don't want to shake things up...

I haven't used that but have you tried massaging her tummy...and moving her legs like a bike to help her pass the gas.
poor baby!!

I think they are pretty much all the same.
We used Baby Bliss from CVS. (blue box) DH ran out for it one morning and that's what he came home with.
ETA - definitely helped make her feel better.

Re: Little Tummys Gripe Water vs. Colic Calm?
Honestly better than colic calm or gripe water I found bicycling her legs to be the best solution. I would bycicle them and then push her legs up gently to her stomach and WHEW the gas would come out!!!!!
I preferred the colic calm, seemed to be more concentrated, less watered down and more effective.  Goodluck
THe good news is by 3 months or so they pass gas so much easier on their own and their tummies are stronger!!

That was my DD exactly..turns out she was allergic to cow's milk.
It was horrible....I felt soo bad for her!
I agree to massage her belly and move her legs like a bike.

aw! well i don't think she's allergic, as she doesn't cry during the feedings (i heard this happens!) and the gas is certainly not at each feeding, more like once, maybe twice, a day. was this your situation?

Colic Calm is the only thing that gives my DS instant relief... he barely swallows it and it already works. It has a black tint to it which is weird (and turns his poop black) but its def worth a shot! Baby Bliss also works well. Good luck!!!
