Infacol, Gripe water or something else~ Which is best?

KellyC75 · Mar 21st, 2012, 20:55 PM

I know each baby is different, but just out of interest, I am running a poll to see which comes tops....

So, infacol, gripe water or something else for windy babies?

We use Pedicare gas drops and they work very well. Our son had a really hard time with gas pains. It's safe for newborns and even can be given at every feeding. Gripe water did nothing for us but some people it works. Maybe try gripe water first and if no luck then try the gas drops

We used infalcol, gripe water, boots apple gripe water and dentinox and id day the dentinox was the best

We used infacol first, then dentonox after 4 weeks. The dentonox was good cos you can put it straight into the bottle rather than trying to force them to swallow it like infacol. I'm not sure any are a complete miracle cure tho

My LO is 1 month old tommorow ~ So she can have gripe water or infacol

Please keep the comments/votes coming, as still not sure which one to try?

Gripe water worked really well for us. I avoided infacol as it has saccharin in it and I didn't want LO having that

We tried (and use) Dentinox, which seems good (he had one or two 'fussy' days), which I add to his 3am feed (so hopefully, will go BACK to sleep and let me mummy sleep a little too....). Also, we tend to burp him a few times during his feed, which also helps.

best wishes

Dentinox worked best for us. Gripe water made her ill with tummy pains and diarrhea, and infacol stopped working after a while x
