Re: What age can you give an infant gas drops
I gave MY DD "Tummy Calm" it says pure and natural gas relief on the bottle. It's a homeopathic medicine. Other gas drops like for example, Mylicon, has "Simethicone". Nothing wrong with this ingredient, it's just that the Tummy Calm does not have this. We gave it to DD at 2 weeks (in her bottle) and it worked well. We still give it to her now and then as needed. The pediatrician says it's totally fine to give an infant gas drops if needed. Bought it at CVS.

What age can you give an infant gas drops
My ped suggested trying gripe water before gas drops because it was natural but gas drops were fine.
Eta: I started about 3 weeks with DS. Unfortunately gripe water and mylacon didn't work. What did work was changing to Dr browns bottles, burping a lot more during feedings, and eventually switching to Enfamil Gentlease.

I gave DS gas drops when he was maybe a week old. I was an idiot and ate black beans while BF'ing. I asked my dr about gripe water and he wasn't fond of it bc it's not FDA approved since its herbal.

Re: What age can you give an infant gas drops
I used them from the beginning. She started having a problem at 2 weeks. I didnt think they worked so I stopped. I put them in her bottles again last night to see if doing it every bottle helped.

Re: What age can you give an infant gas drops
ive been using them since 2 weeks. my pediatrician says they are safe and there is no such thing as overdosing on gas drops. all it does is just give them the runs, which actually helps if they are constipated.
