mylicon drops....

I have a few questions on the mylicon drops...

-do you put the drops in the bottle?
-do you put it in baby's mouth AFTER she is done feeding?
-can you give it to baby between feedings?

What truly works best because my little baby girl has gas in the morning and tries to push it out with all her might nd her face sometimes turns really red from pushing. I am using the Dr. Brown bottles and really like them but she still has the gas.

Thanks!

I am not sure if it worked, but we gave it religiously in the beginning and we gave it right after each bottle. And more than the recommended amount - our doctor told us it was okay. I know some people gave it before and that seemed to help. Trying either way won't hurt the baby. Good luck!

I had to use them. I gave her the drops directly in her mouth after her feedings only twice a day for like 4 days. Sometimes here and there I would give it to her between feedings. I think total I used them 2 weeks havent had to use them in awhile now. good luck.

I would put them in her mouth just in case she doesnt finish her bottle.

We started out giving it in the bottles then did it by mouth. We ended up having to put him on Nutramigen and that worked wonders.
