Re: Do you need Gripe Water???

[Guest guest]

Awww, Robin, poor little guy...Just wanted to put my " two cents

worth " in re: gripe water. Our protocols at work refer people to try

OVOL drops and not gripe water. Research has shown the gripe to not

be as effective for gas. Now I know it works for some babies, but I

am wondering if its the alcohol content more than the medication.

Please, people, don't " shoot the messenger " about this info, okay? I

know that there are as many opinions about this as there are about

say, breastfeeding...lol..

Hope he is doing better soon, Robin...Have you tried any changes to

the cereal in the bottle at night?

Hugs,
