Little Remedies Gripe Water-No Alcohol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Artificial Color & Gluten Free-Safe for Newborns, 4 Fl. Oz (Pack of 1)

My infant did appear to enjoy the taste of these

I purchased this based on rave reviews from so many other mamas. However, these did nothing for my gassy infant. I tried them before, in the middle, and after feedings without a difference. My infant did appear to enjoy the taste of these, so at least administering these was not difficult. I ended up going with Little Remedies Simethicone drops at bedtime and probiotics in the monring and that has seemed to make a much more drastic difference for us. This is not intended as medical advice, but just what has or hasn't worked for us. ** If this review has been helpful, please click the helpful button. Thank you! *

Calms my newborn's stomach so she can sleep.

I'm a first time mom struggling to figure out my newborn. She doesn't sleep like newborns are supposed to ( according to what I have read on the internet) and I've come to the conclusion that her digestive tract is bothering her. I've changed my diet my omitting dairy, eggs, and gassy foods. It has helped, but she still seems to have some issues with her stomach being upset and acid reflux. I decided to try gripe water because it looks like healthy ingredients without chemicals. So far it has worked great at calming my baby so she can sleep. She is 6 weeks old and we have been using gripe water once or twice a day for a couple of weeks. She likes the taste, she sucks it down so fast. She usually burps within a few minutes and calms down. She gets so agitated when her stomach is bothering her that she can't sleep even when she is exhausted. Gripe water has helped us soothe her. I'd say it's worked for us 9 times out of 10. I'm buying my second bottle now. I just spent 3 hours trying to get her to sleep, then realized it must be her stomach again so I gave her gripe water and she is now sleeping peacefully. I highly recommend

I buy this as a gift for ALL my parent friends!

This is essential if you are a parent of small children. Daughter #1 was colicy and this was our go-to solution! We tried all kinds of gripe water--especially the natural stuff, that needed to be refrigerated and expired within 3 weeks. What I love about this is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and travels well. Now we have 2 daughters and it was, again, a life saver. Within 20 minutes of giving this to the girls, they always have a few small burps then seem to be 100%. We always tried other solutions first, then this was our last resort. Once it kicks in, we look at each other (everytime!) and say, "Why didn't we START with this!?" Buy it--I promise you'll be please

Life Saver!

When my boy was a week or so old and had lots of acid reflux causing all sorts of issues like choking on his mucus and up chuck...I bought this on a whim after delivery figuring I should have one of everything just incase. A few days after getting home in the early morning my kid was having a really hard time breathing and woke up in a screaming panic. I remembered I bought this and gave it a try. Immediately and this is no BS after giving a few syring fulls, he could breath and the panic was over. Since then I make sure to give a bit every morning mixed with Prune juice :) and when the breast milk gets too thick and or he's got too much mucus I give him more. Great to also mix just with water as flavor and soothing quality for coughs and dry air. My kid is pretty chill but if you're having issues with gas discomfort and things like that, this stuff works. Makes it easier for the kid to sleep feel comfortable. And hicups! I remember walking around seeminly forever with hicups as a kid. This stuff doesn't always immediatly do the trick but 60% of the time after small dose my kids back to normal quickly and the other times they go away pretty fast either way. It seems that some of the time the best way is to give mixed with water for hydration and other times like with hicups straight is the way to go. We go through a bottle every week and half or so. Showed it to my doctor who had no idea about the product and he said fine with me, everything is all natural without any of the ingredient

!!! HALLELUJAH !!!

Our 2 week old son was never settled or content, always fussy, and upset all the time. So stressful for everyone! Colic was to blame! Ordered this as a “why not, nothing to lose” and it worked instantly. I ordered 3 more bottles the next day, no joke. Our son cries 75% less and goes down to sleep so much easier. Pediatrician also recommended mom eliminate some foods from diet for a few weeks: caffeine, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, dair

It works, it's nonthreatening, and it's not a million dollars.

My baby boy has been experiencing some severe gas lately and my pediatrician recommended Gripe Water. Well I went to the grocery store the other day and was looking at all of the different brands of Gripe Water. I was originally going to pick up a bottle of some organic gripe water because a mother passed me in the aisle and was gushing about how amazing it was, "but you do have to refrigerate it" and it's only good for 30 days. AND it had a huge disclaimer about ultra rare allergic reactions. It was also $10. I came online and started searching prices at various locations and looking at what I consider to be "the" Gripe Water, familiarity and all from seeing advertisements and seeing it on the shelves, etc. It turns out Amazon was the best price option. I started giving my baby the Gripe Water as soon as we got it. He's been far less fussy, much less gassy, and his hiccups haven't been lasting as long. I add it to his milk and he doesn't seem to notice. There's no odor. Needs to be kept at room temperature, it doesn't have any threatening labels on it, and it isn't telling me to discard it after 30 days, so it has a longer shelf life. I'm not a fan that the syringe is so petite, 3mL when the recommended dosage is 5mL. I'm just nitpicking though. The box was also slightly damaged but that could have been because of the postal services throwing the packages at my front door like they're training for the Discus Throw in the Olympics

The Real Deal Gripe Water

Our newborn who is now 8 weeks old would typically get colicky between 5pm to 8 pm at night. She would throw terrible fits. We had been given another brand of gripe water at a baby shower and used it for several weeks. It seemed to help a bit, but not instantly. After 6 weeks of having that brand bottle open, we had to chuck it and get a new bottle. I opted for the Little Remedies brand this time because of the number of stars and positive reviews. This brand was a game changer. The last few weeks, as soon as we give baby a dose, she is almost instantly better. Her colicky fit has almost disappeared, and we are happy parents! She is getting older so she may also be outgrowing the colic, but I think this brand of gripe water is definitely superior to the other brand we used. I highly recommend

The best!

I got this gripe water with pretty big doubts it would do anything for my 3 week old. He has a milk and soy protein allergy and is gassy. My first baby had the same allergy but was so much worse with gas and couldn't pass it. We tried gas drops and gripe water and nothing worked, hense the doubt. However, this worked wonders for my 2nd baby! He calms down right after taking it and either passes the gas, has a BM or simple settles down to a happy baby again. He just clocked his first 5 1/2 hour of sleep last night after giving this to him before bed to calm his tummy. For those of you comparing brands, we tried Wellements Baby Organic Gripe Water which has to be refrigerated first before trying this brand. He spit it back up twice. I think he prefers the room temperature of little remedies better and can tolerate it. We didn't get any results with the other brand. Overall, good product. It doesn't work for every baby but it's pretty awesome when it does!!

Improved my baby's gas, hiccups and constipation

My 4mo son is colicky and has a hard time passing gas. He is also constipated and used to have a bowel movement only every other day. I have been giving him Little Remedies Gripe Water every day since he was 6 weeks old and it has been a must-have remedy for him. However, his colic has been getting better now that he can roll over. Lots of tummy time seems to stimulate his belly, and he started to pass gas more frequently without grunting and to have a bowel movement 1-2 times a day. So I decided to stop giving him Gripe Water. Then his constipation quickly came back. I did that a few times (stop & resume) to see if it was really Gripe Water that was affecting his bowel movement, and I now am pretty sure that it is Gripe Water. It also helps his hiccups. He used to have so many hiccups. It was so frequent that I was worried something might be wrong with him

New formula is disappointing

I loved this product and have purchased so many bottles since my twins were born in December. It worked so well for hiccups for my son, and it eased tummy issues for both of them quickly. I just got 3 bottles in my lasy order and was surprised to see that it had a strong odor when I opened the bottle. It almost smells like maple syrup. Then, when I sucked it up in the syringe, I noticed that it was brownish. That is when I look at the bottle and noticed the new formula with chamomile. On top of the smell, it also seems much stickier, is visible when it gets on clothes, and it doesn't work nearly as well as the old formula for hiccups. I have half a bottle of the old formula still and am headed to the store to buy as many bottles of the old formula as I can find on the shelves. I called Little Remedies, and they said that they won't be making the old formula anymore. Such a bummer. Beware if you're going to order these that it's a new formula. I gave 5 stars for the old formula, maybe 2 for the new one
