Gripe water


How did you give your LO gripe water. Theres nothing but the bottle inside the box and says inbetween or after feed so Im assuming that does not been 'with' feed?

I gave on spoon too but also if dont want that option try a little boiled water and put the Gripe in that. I always found slightly warm boiled water helped a little too.

Colief is marvellous stuff too

If Oliver allows me to burp him half way through his feed, i'll give it him then. Failing that, i give it him afterwards. I use a syringe. He doesnt like it much though. He liked Infacol cus its orangy x

Women usually use those lil medicine spoons, you know the ones you can measure with and feed with OR with a syringe but gently...and then it's done in between feeds.

Is you princess crying a lot Wobbles, or does she just have her moments here and there.

I wouldnt put any medicine actually in her feeds wobbles unless it states to do so on the bottle ie Dentinox is safe to do so. I know that your not supposed put many medicines in food in adults anymore, so im guessing the same would apply for a baby. This is something to do with the the body being unable to absorb it so well. (Only know this as I did my first year of a nurse degree) As far as i know gripe water should be given actually during a feed or afterwards- not inbetween feeds. x
