Q: Baby Bliss Gripe Water

Hello all,

there is a treatment that actually has helped my 2 month old son to have less pain and also get more sleep. I am normally very skeptical of anything that is labled as "all natural" or "organic" but this stuff is fantastic. We bought a bottle of it yesterday after I read about it on the huggies forum. It is not cheap and you only get 24 treatments in one bottle but this stuff has changed our world in about 24 hours.

The active ingredients are:
sodium (as sodium bicarbonate) 14mg/tsp
ginger extract (zingiber officinale) (root) 5mg/tsp
fennel extract (foeniculum vulgare) (seed) 4mg/tsp

this stuff is similar to alka seltzer but it does not effervese. If mylacon or little tummies simethacone does not help. Try this stuff. We were pulling our hair out trying to help get this baby out of distress and finally gripe water came along and we have not had to give him another drop of the simethacone treatment.

good luck and hope this helps,
brian

Hey brian, thanks for the info

just an fyi simethacone is in (oval drops), gripe water works on some babys and not others its also sold in walmart with or without alcohol. I have tried both and gripe water worked better the first few months and oval works better now elisa is (17mths), gripe water is also recommended for colicky babies......

This med/ natural product does not replace "burping" fyi and some forms of formula also cause gas so talk to ur dr if you think its something else but babies naturally have alot of gas...
