Can anyone tell me what you use gripe water for and whether it worked? My mum has suggested we use some for Ollie as he appears to get a sore tummy when pushing out poos so she thought it might help.

It is used for wind. Be careful cos it can give bubs a really sore gut.

We use it for hiccups and it works for that but we only give him a very small amount 1.5ml or so even though the bottle says he can have more

We tried using it when Spencer had a sore tummy and constipation but it didn't really seem to help.
Our chiropractor said to massage his tummy clockwise after he has been fed and if he is straining and that seems to help.

We were told to try it when Alyssa was younger and we had problems with wind i.e. she didn't burp easily. It made things worse and she often vomited after having it. Not surprised cause it smells disgusting!

we use it when she gets ths hiccups and it seems to work about 50% of the time- she seems to like the taste of it through
