Gripe Water Posted: 10-26-07 11:02am
What age can you give a baby gripe water?
My daughter will be 10 weeks old tomorrow.
She gets the hiccups ALL the time and
gripe water is suppose to help get rid of
them. I try to get her to take a couple
drinks from her bottle, but that doesn't
always work and she doesn't always want
anymore of her bottle. I wouldn't be that
worried about it, but the hiccups make her
so mad that she starts gasping for air
because she's crying and screaming so
hard. It takes quite a while to get her
to calm down once the hiccups do go away.

Nancy's right.
BUT, you can give her just plain jane
water instead of buying Gripe Water.
Gripe water is GREAT for gas too!!

I hadn't ever seen it anywhere, so I never
had an opportunity to read the packaging.
I did find it in the grocery store earlier
and picked some up. It won't hurt to have
some on hand!!

It knocked out her hiccups REAL quick. I
have found the magic potion!!!! I had
never been able to find it at wal-mart
(pharmacy section or baby section), but I
hadn't looked in any of the pharmacies,
because I use my grocery store to have
prescriptions filled, but they had it in
the baby aisle.
