The pedi doesn't need to okay it. You can
get it at walmart. To let you in on a
little secret. A little bit of warm water
has the same effect.
It's about 6 bucks for a tiny bottle.

it is really expencive, and you can get it
practically anywhere
i have a little tip too....you can get
generic for a lot less, even some "dollar"
stores sell it (the ones where not
everything is a dollar but like family
dollar or whatever)

Honestly I don't think they work that
well. Ethan and Alex both had horrible gas
and it didn't seem to help much at all.

I wouldn't waste your money. rubbing
their tummy and patting their back with
help just as much. Heck you can come
borrow our thing of drops because Brayden
never used them since they didn't work
very well!

I love Mylicon and I really thought it
worked. You can get it anywhere. Drug
stores, Walgreens, Walmart, Target...or a
grocery store

I'm sorry that rubbing her tummy doesn't
help porr girl If you decide to
do the drops definately go with generic
then thats cheaper, or else see if you can
get a coupon online..I know i Have got a
few coupons for them in the mail before.

i used little tummies with macy n liam. it
has different ingredients that mylicon so
they cant overdose on it ( dont know what
would happen if they do but im pretty the
mylicon can only be used so often and
little tummies is as needed) plus its
cheaper and smells yummy.

there's nothing medicinal in mylicon so
you can use it as often as you want. we
actually put it in every bottle for like 6
months.

Mylicon is non-digestible. It takes care
of whatever the problem is and just passes
on through. The generic is just as good
as the name brand and less expensive.
You can try Baby Gripe water as well.
You can get that at drugstore.com. I have
heard that that will work if Mylicon drops
don't. It depends on the baby and what
the problem is.
If you lie down with your baby face down
on your chest this will soothe the baby.
Your warmth will calm the gas, plus the
baby loves to listen to your heartbeat. A
warm heating pad can also help.
If none of these things work, check with
the pediatrician for GERD.
Good luck.
