Last time I'm giving my daughter gripe water. This is the second time she's choked on it and this…

Gripe water didn't work with my son

that's scary! I know you don't want to try it again (I don't blame you) but do you put it in the side of her mouth?

@mommybump2016, yes! and I was sitting her upright and everything but I guess she wasn't ready for it or something .. i was so close to calling 911!!!

😢. I'm sorry! what are you giving it to her for? maybe there's something else that can help . does she spit up a lot after feedings? I only ask because my daughter used to be like that also.

that happened to me a few times too, but gripe water was still a miracle for us. my daughter had bad colic lol. just got to get the hang of it, now she's almost 4 months and the skill comes in handy for other medicines like Tylenol.... my best tip is to use a bottle nipple instead of the dropper they give you. the dropper can come out in fast bursts causing choking. I had a tiny bottle designed for liquid medicine.

@mommybump2016, yes love. that's the reason I started giving it to her a week ago. she would spit up after every feeding and also she would get fussy because of gas:(

@kattastrophe, okay thanks hun

@mommytomia, definitely (: it's not the only liquid medicine you'll probably give her in the first year. so just have to see what method works best

Yes, I agree with the above...either find a new gas medicine that's all natural, or try with a bottle nip instead...that is too scary!!!!

I'm not saying this is why she does that. but with my daughter she would aspirate into her lungs every time she ate , I gave her medicine, or if she got too much saliva in her mouth from crying. the formula didn't make her choke as much just because it was thicker than the medicine but she would always choke , I hated it!! I kept going to the doctor and they finnaly did a test on her and saw it. she eventually got over it but what would happen is when she drank anything her throat wouldn't close the air way all the way witch caused her to choke. and she spit up so much all the time. (sorry so long) lol I just know not too many ppl know about that.

when u give them anything in the dropper put it into their cheek slowly

Have you talked to your doctor abt acid reflux Bc my son was like that and than he started take meds and was a heaven
