Re: Gas Drops/Gripe Water?
Gas drops are all the same. It's all just simethicone if you read the labels.
I used the store brand- Target. Exactly the same as any other brand.
Gripe water- I can't recall what I used- we found it in CVS I think. It didn't do much for us.

Re: Gas Drops/Gripe Water?
gas drops are all the same so generic is fine but there is also colic calm and tummy calm. these are expensive but have fantastic reviews
gripe water does vary slightly but again basically the same. i use cvs brand
only advise i will give it dont have your heart set on one. i heard that gas drops were amazing and i bought stock in it basically as my baby had/nas terrible pains. i used it constantly and did see it help but nothing too crazy.
one day i ate a boatload of garbage and woke in the worst gas pain of my life... in tears. i took gas-x which is the exact thing as the gas drops for baby but higher dosage and it did squat for me. like NOTHING.
the next day i bought gripe water ry to try for baby and it worked 10x better than the gas drops.
my doctor says babies react differently and some respond to drops while others to water. basically i say try them both out and see what works best for YOUR baby

I tried gas drops for DD and felt they didn't do anything for her so stopped. She still has gas and I know is uncomfortable.  Going to try gripe water next and hoping for a better outcome.

Gas drops worked for us...and we got them from Costco they were super cheap ($3)!! Just go to the pharmacy and they will know what you are looking for!

Cocyntal is the BEST EVER!!! I don't know how I would have survived without. None of the other brands did anything. It says it's for colic but I used it for ds' gas and it worked wonders. My friends son had colic and she said he was a different baby after. So happy and comfortable.

Mommy's Bliss gripe water was a lifesaver- it also stops the hiccups on contact 95% of the time. Worked much better than gas drops at calming baby.

Same here. Gas drops did nothing for her. But we swore by the gripe water for months.
