Feed Expert Reviews & Research: Little Remedies Gripe Water

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! *

Hiccup Savor and Gassy Tummy

My baby girl wasn't too colicky but I felt so bad because she got hiccups at least 6 times a day. And they would last FOREVER! The gripe water would literally take away the hiccups within a couple of seconds of giving it to her. I also noticed that if I gave her the gripe water at her 3am or 6am feed, she would toot a ton and wake up at 9am feeling happy and good and awake for a while! This was amazing for me to see because usually I was cuddling her and trying to burp her just because she seemed uncomfy. I don't know if I would “swear by it” like most parents but I also didn't have a super fussy baby, just an uncomfortable one. I am super happy we have a cure for her insanely repetitive hiccups

It may or may not work – if it does it's great.

This is as about as good of a honest answer as you will get. First off, i don't recommend using gripe water or gas drops if it's really not necessary for the child in the first place as the EU doctors have mixed feelings about these ingredients for newborns, but if worse comes to worse and you need it then you need it. I honestly tried these with my first child and they were absolutely useless. Did nothing to relieve gas and did not help at all with colic. I will say, I gave it another try with my second child now and it surprisingly had the opposite effect and worked now... so all I can say is it really just depends on your kiddo. I used it now the second time when my son was experiencing a lot of gas issues around 3 weeks. We gave it to him the first time and he slept until his next feeding with no issues. We continued to give him a dose at each feeding and so far it has done him wonders. I can't complain because it makes me happy to see him pain free after eating. As far as the ingredients go - I'm fairly happy with how simple they are and overall do not cause any major issues from them being in my little guys tummy. Don't get discouraged by the negative comments on here and give it a shot you never know if it might help. I usually give it to my kiddo straight because he does like the flavor. Hope this helps

My 6 week old

Thank you gripe water! My 6week old has had daily issues with stomach pain either after feedings or due to constipation . We have changed nipples, changed formula brands per his pediatrician, tried tummy remedies etc. I even started feeding him every 2-3 vs 3-4 hrs just so I could decrease the volume of milk at feeding time. Of course we all know this only hurt Moms chances of sleep deprivation up a notch. I was worried about using gripe water with his age. So, I have been waiting to try it. This morning my son has been squirming in pain. For whatever reason he didn't burp much his last 2 meals. Clogged up as usual. I grab the gripe water. I decide to follow another reviewers advice and reduce the initial dosage. I gave him 1.5 dropper full. It worked alright! Within 5 minutes.... He burped, farted, vomited his two hour old feeding, now has the hiccups and smiled. No lie. He smiled ðŸ¤

Give it a try

I had never heard of this until my friend told me about it because my baby was colicky. This is not a cure for colic but it did make his fussiness subside and help with gas. I give it to him 2x/day, once before the first feeding in the morning and before the last feeding before bed at night. I give it to him as more of a preventative thing now, even though his colic is gone. He has always been pretty gassy and suffered from gas pains. Gripe water helps! I never tried actual gas drops, as I liked how gripe water was an all natural alternative without any extra nonsense added. Just natural extracts. If your baby suffers from any sort of gastrointestinal issues, give this a try

Whining baby?

I got three little kids and the two youngest ones are solely responsible for my future gray hairs. I was googling just like you did until I found this product. Yes it dose everything it says it dose and omg fast. They both have dairy allergies and until we knew what a dairy allergie was and how to stop it we use this product to get us through the day. They were both breast feed babies so mom was the source. fast forward 2 years and we still keep this on hand. Grate product

Absolute lifesaver!!! Fussy baby? Get this product!

I am a new mom. My little one just turned six weeks. He has really bad gas and it gets worse at night. Before I used this product, he would cry and fuss from about 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm. My husband and I could hear the gas in his stomach and it would take extremely long for him to burp. After he fell asleep, he would wake in the morning and cry in pain again. I was skeptical at first to try this product because some of the reviews said that it gave the baby more gas and that was the last thing I needed. After feeling helpless and determined to help my little one, I tried this product. Best decision ever! I give it him before every feeding. The dosage says 5 ml but I give him half of it. The reason I give him half is Incase he is fussy after a feeding, I give him the other half. (Mainly at night). I have been doing this for the past week and a half and he has been much calmer. He sleeps at night for about five hours before waking to feed. When he does have a gassy episode, I give him a dose and this helps him burp/poop and calm right down. If you're looking for something to help your little one, trust me, this product is what you're looking for

Awesome for a gasey baby!

My baby was super gasey and no matter how much she burped she still had trouble passing gas. We would be up all night soothing her, but she would just cry, kick her legs, grunt, and get very red in the face. I tried gas drops and soothe drops but neither of them did the trick. The gripe water starts working immediately and we noticed a difference after the first few feedings. We now use it with her last few feedings at night and she sleeps great through the night now! We've also used it to get rid of her hiccups, she seems to get them at least once a day! Used to be a lot more before we started using the gripe water

Works like magic

Gripe water helped our lo sooo much. We have a gassy baby. He constantly was pushing, trying to poop after every feeding, but couldn't, he was crying in pain. We tried all: anti gas drops, tummy massage, tummy time, etc. Nothing was helping until we tried gripe water. For our baby it works like magic. He becomes calm almost instantly, and after 2-3 hours he poops easil

Couldn't Have Done it Without This

Amazing for colicky baby due to gastrointestinal issues. As natural as it gets for medicine. Fennel and ginger. Probably doesn't taste too well, but my infant didn't have a problem drinking it mixed in the breast milk (bottled). I read somewhere that infants don't develop taste buds until their 9 months old? Gave half the recommended dosage at every other feeding and she did very well with it. We suffered for two months with her serious discomfort and tried every sleep position, cradling, holding, bouncing, rocking, before I resorted to finding some aide in the medicine aisle. She would cry for 14 hours per day, wailing, obviously in pain. The gripe water soothed her stomach pains within minutes and allowed her (and me) to fall asleep for a few hours at a time. After 5 weeks of using the gripe water, her gastrointestinal issues subsided and by 4 months of age, she was a happy, bouncy baby who slept very peacefully. She is now two years of age
