gripe water AND mylicon drops?

My DD is so gassy. I already switched her formula to Similac Sensitive and have been using mylicon drops but she still isn't better.
I was thinking about trying gripe water.
Can I give her the gripe water AND the mylicon drops?

Re: gripe water AND mylicon drops?

I found neither to be effective but when I was giving them a try, I'd give the drops immediately after a feeding. The gripe water I'd save for between feedings when the fussiness was starting.

We did the same with the formula switch. Mylicon drops never worked for us and we switched to gripe water within a few weeks.
Gripe water definitely helped. I don't think I would use them both at the same time....I preferred the gripe water because it was all natural.

You can use both I just wouldn't at the same time. I used gas drops which helped a lot. The gripe water did nothing for my son. Every baby is different so you just need to keep trying things till you figure out what works.
Good luck.

I alternated between the two, but never gave both at the same time.

Also when she was having a screaming fit bc of gas the gripe water immediately calmed her down. Don't know how or why though

DS 1 was super gassy on Similac Sensitive - Enfamil Gentlease worked a lot better for his gas issues (but, unfortunately, he also had some issues with the lactose in it).

I used colic calm and it worked great for DD.

gripe water AND mylicon drops?

We are in the midst of trying to figure this out for our 3 week old. We got the drops and have been giving them to her every feeding....and then the gripe water when she gets into her fit of crying due to gas. Honestly neither of them really ease or calm her down. It's hit or miss sometimes. I think the gas drops are helping her to pass gas more, but that is about it.

DS is VERY GASSY and has wicked colic! Its getting better...
I have a little system in my head and use all the different remedies..

Gas drops usually about 4 times a day in between that use the gripe water when needed or hylands colic tablets. I find that the Gripe water helps him poop - the one I have has fennel seed - which is known to move bowels.

I also give him a little chamomile tea when hes uber fussy and sometimes before he goes down for bed. The ped - said it was fine and my mom swears by this anyway.

We do tummy massages and bicycle kicks...
