Sooo my MIL bought me some gripe water, but it’s not the alcohol free kind. I of course googled it but there’s mixed reviews. My baby has been crying for the past two hours 😭😭 I’m at a loss on what to do. I’ve tried everything to calm him and so has my mom. Is gripe water with alcohol bad? Why is this even on store shelves I’m confused.
Thank you I’ll keep all of this in mind incase he’s the same way tonight!
You can also put a towel down on top of the dryer and place your baby on it on his tummy for a few minutes while you run it.
The brand of gripe water we used is "Mommy's Bliss" and its in baby sections at the store.
They all use to have it way back when i was a kid even cough syrup did. Its not safe and honestly you could make your own with out . Its baking soda, water sugar sometimes mint,or dill.
What old school middle eastern do is boil cumin seeds(like making tea) and give the water just a couple droppers depending the age and thats completely safe and natural
What helped minw is laying them on the back tapping their belly it woulf like gather the fart bubbles to make them more passable then do the leg pumping / bicycle legs . Or napping them on their tummy on a firm surface while next to them. Thats what they did in nicu they said it helps digestion . Tho you wouldnt want them to sleep like that overnight or to leave their side some babys cant lift their head properly to move their face from like smothering in the mattress
I’ll post a picture of the box when I can, finally got my little boy to fall asleep. Downside is he’s on my chest on the rocking chair & cries every time I try to move or stop rocking 😩
I was debating on using it because of how he’s been. I guess I could have worded my post a little better lol
No I haven’t. Wasn’t comfortable with alcohol in it that’s why I googled and asked on here to be sure. I definitely threw it out!
Oh you haven’t used it? I thought you said you already had. Definitely don’t!
