Gripe water

[Monoploxy]

What's the best way to use gripe water on my 4 week old baby?

Gripe water and infacol are for different things. Infacol is not recommended with reflux.

I found the boots gripe water the best. I used a calpol syringe or you can buy them from over the chemist counter and pop them in the steriliser.

Gripe water used to work when it contained alcohol - but doesn't do anything now (and alcohol is banned).

Slurp off medicine spoon or syringe?

I used an oral syringe as well.

If you do want to use gripe water, we used to use the calpol syringe.

Yes infacol is much better than gripe water - that's what I've heard

I found Infacol better than gripe water, it comes with a little pipette in the lid. You could use an oral syringe with gripe water, otherwise it's hard to give (I used a teaspoon, disastrously)

Gripe water isn't great really. What's up with the baby?
