Gripe water, how do you give it to your baby ?
Hi, Archie will be 5wks on Sunday and he's been suffering from trapped wind. We got some gripe water last night and I just wondered what the best way to give it to him is.. The instructions say during or after his feed. Do you put it in his bottle ? I wasn't sure so I used s syringe and put a wee bit in his mouth each time we stopped to burp him. Problem is he's got reflux and I think becuase the gripe water makes it easier for him to burp more sick comes up. Aaargh, can't win. S x

I think the box says from 1 month up so you will be ok
I tried Amber on it for the first time at 7weeks straight after a feed and she sicked everywhere so now I give it to her when she is all kicky pants like she is trying to poo, then she trumps it all out and sleeps bless her.
I also do not give her a full teaspoon half is plenty xx
I use the dropper from Infacol that way its only 1/5 of the dose and it can be spread out x
