Questions about gripe water

Rachael
I've just started using it on my 5 week old LO. It seems to be helping, especially when he's grunting and crying. My question is, will he need this the whole time he's breastfeeding? I plan to breastfeed for a year. Do moms give it several times a day for months/weeks? Just wondering if this is a long term solution for his gas pains? TYIA
