Gripe water- does it work?

Infants friends and infacol didn't work for my bub. I mix a bit of water and gripe water and give it throughout the day to avoid those late arvo/night screaming hours. I also just found breurs I think is the brand - stomach calm and that seems to be working wonders.

My girl had some pretty bad wind issues, but not at your typical time during the arvo, bit at around 4am each morning. I've tried infants friend, Infacol & brauers. none worked really, but now, at 10 weeks she seems to have outgrown it. Good luck. Hope you find something that works for you

I swore by infants friend for the first 6 months of DDs life! She used to get excited when she saw me getting it ready too haha it tastes nicer to them than gripe water i think!

The gripe water worked wonders for us last night! I tried putting her to bed around 11:30 when DH and I turned in, but she was grizzley and unsettled so DH took her out of the room for a couple of hours (I was absolutely shattered from having zero sleep the night before!) and he reckons after giving her some more gripe water she began farting non stop lol.. better out than in!
And when he brought her to bed at 3:15 she slept through til 7:30am and then after a feed she slept til 11:30!

Have just given her some more and she's sound asleep again!
