some friends of mine swear by it, but it gave ds a grumbly belly and he was really cranky after having it. In my opinion the mylicon drops work better...for me anyway.

I got it at BBB.

I used the gripe water when Nikolas was a newborn and it seemed to help us somewhat.. though he had a few diff. issues. He was colic and gassy and reflux all combined into one unhappy baby Chat Icon

I did continue using mylicon drops with his bottles in addition to the gripe water, however..

I got the Gripe Water at BRU but I've seen it at BBB too and I konw that health food stores sell it.

We used the Little Tummies brand..

I swear by it!!! It's been a miracle worker for Bella. It's got Fennel in it which is amazing for gas (also good for BF) I think it works much better than Mylicon, IMO.

I used it and it definitely took the edge off for DD. For her, I think it was better than mylicon. I gave it to her a few times a day and I never worried b/c it's all natural.
