gripe water works best for my little guy.

infacol made Riley constipated gripe water works great

Honestly I think Infacol is a load of.. crap! It actually seemed to make my kid and my sister's kid worse for some reason and the taste is foul so it can give upset tummies. I've found giving cooled boiled water helps a lot if they will drink it.

I havent tried infacol, but gripe water works well for Noah, and he likes it!

Another fan of gripe water here, but you can only give it from 1 month old I think.

another question, the instuctions arnt that clear on the gripe water how and when did you give your baby gripe water as it says during the feed but i wouldnt be sure when to stop him and give it to him, would it best after ? as it says you can give after too, im not sure what to do ?? and also says only 6 times 24 hours but he feeds so much i guess it would be best to give it to him one feed then miss giving the next feed ?? xxx

 

[luckyme225]

I give it before I breastfeed because I would out the hard way if I gave it to him after he eats his stomach is already full so it comes back up. I give it to him when we wake up and when we go to bed. The other times I just give it to him when he starts to get cranky.

 

[Mamafy]

yep I bottlefed and gave it right before a feed and not more than 6 times a day I think it said.

 

[coz]

i think il do it before feeing then it just says on the instructions during or after but its so much easier just to do it before and charlie will get wind during at any time xxx

Infacol made Lilia constipated and seemed really sweet and sticky- not good in my opinion. I now swear by gripe water!
