Windy baby-mylicon or gripe water or both?

[Gio71]

Does anyone know if its ok to give my v windy baby both mylicon and gripe water? If not both does anyone have any experience of one being better than another? Poor thing is on verge of exploding with wind I think!!

oh bless when dd had colic (is it that?) we used colief. you can get it over pharmacy counter, it costs a tenner (or did) but ti was the best thing that worked for dd. a couple of drops go in their bottle or expressed milk (not sure how else to do it) and it takes a few days to get in their system but once in there it helped settle things down quite well (along with the 1 am drive round)
