Re: Just Curious!
Can gripe water and other medications help?
If your baby seems to have a severe case of wind, your health visitor or doctor may suggest medication such as Infacol, which is also sometimes used to treat colic. Infacol contains simethicone. This is an ‘anti-foaming agent’ that works by allowing the gas to be released in larger bubbles rather than lots of smaller bubbles that can get trapped in the stomach. Gripe water is an old-fashioned remedy containing herbs (dill, fennel, ginger etc) and sodium bicarbonate. The herbs are said to warm the baby’s tummy and break down air bubbles while sodium bicarbonate neutralises acid. Gripe water used to contain alcohol. Some experts believe it was the sedative effect of this that made gripe water successful in helping to sooth babies troubled by wind. Alcohol is no longer an ingredient but many parents still swear by gripe water so it may be worth a try. Most babies outgrow the need to be winded as they become able to move and find a comfortable position for themselves.
appara ntly some types still have 4.4percent alcohol
Re: Just Curious!
^^ that was long winded :D
Re: Just Curious!

Re: Just Curious!
yeah my mom also had to hide it from me..once I drank half of the bottle…
i used to get so angry when she would feed me one tea spoon only…i used to scream for more 
Re: Just Curious!
aah - gripe water... I can still remember the taste - yummy!
but it certainly does not have alcohol... it is a mixture of fructose and baking soda (for reliveing stomach discomforts).
Re: Just Curious!
My mom said I used to cry like hell everyday around maghrib time. They tried to do everything to comfort me and i just would cry n cry. Then someone told em about Gripe water and they started giving me that and I’d go tunn :halo:
