What on earth is in gripe water? Stripped the colour from our leather sofa!

DS2 is 5 weeks old and a terribly windy little chap, thankfully not colicky just a big old gas bag.

Infacol hasn't really helped and so I've tried gripe water, which does help him to bring trapped air up in some huge man-burps.

Last night I balanced the bottle on the arm of the sofa and there was a little bit on the bottom of the bottle- there is now a light brown ring on my dark brown leather sofa ! If it does that to my sofa what on earth is it doing to my poor ds's innards?

The boots website says it contains sodium bicarbonate, sounds like a cooking ingredient more than anything. So does anyone know how it works to help with trapped wind?

Not really a development question but at a loss where else to put this!
