Gripe water/infacol

4 replies

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has put gripe water or infacol in the baby's bottle of formula and all been ok and still worked? Iv been trying gripe water in a clean tear for baby but she's now refusing the bottle of milk as she thinks it's the gripe, or I'm assuming she is. Or are dentinox colic drops any good,I used them for a couple of days but baby had a couple of screaming fits in the evening that I think was due to the drops. Iv tried the gripe water in a syringe before feeds but baby spits it out or chokes, which I think she would do with infacol if I tried it before bottle.
Thank you

Unfortunately there is no evidence base to suggest either of them work. This article about colic is interesting.

I used an old infacol bottle for gripe water as I reckoned a pipette full was about a teaspoon. Could steralise both dropper and bottle. Infacol was no good whatsoever.

I'm not entirely sure it's colic, just very bad wind/trapped wind

Thank you newtb, did you find gripe water worked? Iv only been giving it to my baby 3 times a day, have you tried dentinox colic drops?
