infacol/gripe water-how do you give it?

[choc]

Do you have to give it straight in their mouth or can you add them to the formula? Which is best for helping LO to burp?

 

[Mrs A]

ive used both, infacol comes in its own dripper, you just put that in lo mounth and squeeze and gripe water, i gave it on a sterilised plastic medicine spoon

 

[choc]

Sorry probably a thick question but do you mean mixed in with his formula, or do you mean when he has finished his bottle you add the gripe water to the empty bottle and then give it?

Sorry!

We Mix it in his formula, you can see the bubbles disolve immidiatly. We use both enfacol and gripe water. I tried giving LO gripe water using the droper and he puked all over the place. Happened twice.

At night i give LO some drop of infacol on his mouth, give him a bath then feed him. It really helps reduce the wind build up which gets really bad in the evening.

I found Infacol worked really well for Aliyah but i have just started weaning her off it and she seems to be coping ok nowx

We gave Ava Infacol straight from the doppler, before every feed.
