Another Gripe Water Question From Me ... *Blush*

[pinkmac85]

So I feel so silly constantly asking such stupid questions but anyways..I sent OH out to get some gripe water as you ladies suggested it because LeeAnne has been having a hard time pooping lately and it's been causing her some tummy pains...now do I give her the gripe water at a certain time? Like during a feeding or just when she starts acting fussy?? The directions on the bottle say to just give infant 1/2 tsp but doesn't say how often or when...I'm assuming that I just give it to her when shes acting fussy and in pain from trying to poop?

THanks

Yes, just give it to her at her fussy times... or if you know she is going to get fussy, give it in advance.

on my bottle it says 1-6months 5mls??

i give leyleys on a dummy when she whinges, its not the recommended dose like...much less but she sicks up the full dose so on a dummy works wonders

dont stick the dummy in it and give it ur LO in the shops though lmfao, i did it the other day and someone thought i was giving her vodka on her dummy

lol it's so funny you say that because when OH pulled out the bottle I thought he had bought vodka and I started to yell at him LOL
I've heard the dummy idea before and think I will try it next time as we gave some to her after her bottle in a medicine dropper and boy oh boy did she ever HATE it...I think she spit most of it out..poor thing (mind you I smelt it and it smells nasty so I'm sure it doesn't taste much better!)

Its actually supposed to taste really good... lol.. I use a dropper and hold jasmine with her head back a bit so she cant spit it out... or sometimes if I leave the dropper in her mouth the sucking reflex will take over...

I use this exact one, I got it in a medicine kit:

I mix 5mls of gripe water and 10mls of cooled boiled water and let her suck like a feed. She LOVES it, and its much easier than a medicine dropper

OOOOO thats really handy...where did you get that from Scorpio?

 

[princessellie]

ive seen those on ebay, theres quite a few, i found them when i was searching for the dummies you give medicine with

We gave her it when we felt she was uncomfy but because we found she often was in a lil discomfort we use to give her one a day at least to help thing keep going x

As the other girls mentioned give it to her when you see shes fussy or right before ..
but the maximum is 4 times a day
