Gripe Water....what is it?

someone suggested we try gripe water because our twins are really fussy and have gas/poop issues. gas drops didnt work. we tried several formulas. had their stool tested. so we are willing to try anything at this point...

but what is this stuff? and do you give it to them every day long term or just when they are fussy?

Just when they are fussy. It's basically water with fennel and ginger extract to settle the tummy

I never used it with DS when he was little. And I wish I had.. I started to give it to him a few months ago to help with his belly issues. It helps him poop... I only give it as needed..

Hi! We tried Wellements gripe water a few months back and love it. It is natural and organic and calms to the baby down immeditately. We used it once a day seperate from breastfeeding. I would try it out. You have nothing to loose but calminess again :)
