Gripe Water - Prosper,TX

Gripe water is a natural reliever for gas bubbles. You can buy it any health food store and maybe even at Walmart or Target(not sure). It's really easy on there stomach and it worked wonders for my twins. I just added it to their formula and if they had really bad gas, I would give them a couple drops directly.

Gripe water saved my sanity!! My son used it w/ every feeding for the first 4 months. He was breast-fed, but still very gassy and spit up alot. I changed my diet to cut the common culprits to help reduce his gas, but he still was very fussy starting about 30 minutes after eating until he finished passing the gas. I tried several gripe waters, and found one that worked really well. Our best brand was Colic Ease. I got it online---just do a search. If you try one and it doesn't work, I would encourage you to try another brand. They are all a little bit different in their ingredients, and one will work better than others for your baby. Health food stores carry them, or you can find them online. Some baby/maternity stores carry them, too.

Be careful when purchasing this. The Baby Bliss Gripe Water has been recalled. Check out the FDA's website.

T.,

Yes Gripe Water is a great invention. It worked wonderfully for my little one...calmed her down within minutes. I think there are a few out there now with different brand names. Baby Bliss "Gripe Water" is the one I used. I highly recommend it...Hope it works as great for you as it did for us!

I posted a question about this a little while back (look up my question if you can find it under "alternative medicine"). Basicly what I found and bought was Colic Ease (the brand name-bought on the web)-look up it's web page and read the info:very informative! I personally thought it was way subperp compared to the others and I had priovously bought one other brand and didn't like it!

And yes, I do think it really worked, at least a bit but bit is better than none and I have really fussy newborns!

We used it for my youngest daughter's colic and even gave it to our oldest for teething. I think it helped her a lot. It's not a miracle cure for colic but it does help.

Hi Tammy,

I get my gripe water from Sweet Repeats on Nacogdoches and 1604. I don't know if that is close to you or not, but I know that the brand that she has works. I also use humphries "3" teething tablets, for gas as well. It is safe for infants and even if your child takes the whole bottle it will not over dose them. That is according to posion control. ( my 2 1/2 yr old son at an entire bottle). You might ask your MD about it and see what he thinks. Good luck, I know how hard a baby with gas can be!

I know this is an old post, but, I just wanted to add that the last time I was in our Tom Thumb, they had gripe water.

I am a BIG believer in this stuff! I still give it to my 3 and 6 year old when their tummies are bothering them. I tried it once too and it worked. My last two babies took it when they were infants especially during the "witching hours" of the evening when they seemed to have problems.

I used it for my son and loved it!! It really works fast and also works on hiccups(sp?).

It is the BEST stuff on the planet. I had a preemie who was on all sorts of medication for reflux and nothing helped and then someone reccommended it and it worked wonders. It is good for gas, reflux, colic, etc.
I suggest it to every mom I know!!!!!! And everyone who has tried it has come back and told me how well it works. So much better than any medicine because it is natural and actually works ;0)

I wholeheartedly second the Colic Ease brand gripe water. http://www.colicease.com. Very informative site that explains the difference between the brands out there and what each ingredient of this specific formulation does. I used this on my daughter for reflux pains, and later we discovered it works for adults too with nausea and indigestion. Best of all, it doesn't require refrigeration and is fairly pleasant tasting compared to some on the market.

Locally, you can buy it at the Family Health Market on Preston in Frisco.

I swear by this stuff. Good luck!

IT QORKS!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that it works MIRACULOUSLY fast........

I heard it works great!!! Can't hurt so you may as well try. :)
