Gripe water! rave review!

pennysbored · Jun 22nd, 2009, 13:36 PM

I had bought a bottle a few months back, and it didn't seem to do anything at the time, but I pulled it out again last night because for the last 2 weeks Betty has been SCREAMING the last two hours before she goes to bed. I thought it was pain from teething.
Not even 2 minutes after I gave it to her, she was quite, 10 minutes later, she was asleep.
I can't believe I've been sitting on this bottle for 2 months. And its really inexpensive!
Just wanted to share.

This stuff is a miracle worker, i love it, I think it explains our grizzly week we had last week with bubba, i usually buy two bottles each time i go shopping now ....its a little miracle x

DH's co-worker has a three week old baby and swears by that stuff so I am sure I will have to pick some up.

Sorry dumb question.. is gripe water for colic?

NatalieW · Jun 22nd, 2009, 15:02 PM

Yup Laura... We tried everything - Infacol, Dentinox and Colief.. nothing works as well as gripe water!!! I don't like the boots version but the original version (dill one)

Glad it worked for her! it does say on the box you have to discard it after 4 weeks of opening it though...wonder why so soon? x

I thinks I will be investing in some of this.
Will it have the same effect on a whingey husband ???????
