Is it ok to give 3 mo baby full dose gripe water (mommy's bliss) 3 times a day everyday?

Question

I understand you can give up to 6 times a day according to bottles, but a lot of meds that say things like that can cause harm if you use everyday and my baby has needed it 3 times a day full dose pretty much everyday starting last week.... sometimes it seems to make him sleepy even though it's original and not nighttime.  I'm afraid I might be giving him too much : /

Answer

With my first, I lived by gripe water!! It’s truly the best thing ever and doesn’t have all the things in it that regular medications have!!

Answer

You could try giving only half a dose and see if that does the trick, then you know you're not giving too much. We used gripe water a lot also in the beginning on a nightly basis for my LOs colic. We never had to give a full dose ever tho. They can take up 5ml at a pretty young age but my LO never needed more than the one dropper full of 2.5 ml. She's now 5 months and we haven't had to use it at all since she was about 10 weeks. Mommas Bliss brand is all natural and if it helps baby then I don't see the harm in it 🤷🏽‍♀️ no one likes to see their baby upset over gas pains. You could try gas drops also.

Answer

I've given quite a bit to my babies but don't exactly remember how much. I'd give the Dr a quick call to check!

Answer

I thought gripe water was for gas? 
I haven't used gripe water on a baby in a long time..just haven't really needed it. 
I would just ask a doctor

Answer

may i ask how come you give your baby gripe water? my son is 2 mo & my SO tells me to give him it when he has hiccups but i refuse because im scared to

Answer

Yes, it's fine. It's not "meds", it's literally just fennel and ginger water. Organic ginger and fennel at that. If baby needs it don't be afraid to use it. I would do as another person said and try to do half doses though. I would give half a dose, wait about five minutes and see if they needed the other half. I used it for quite awhile. Baby is just now 10.5 weeks and hasn't really needed it anymore. The main thing for me was not using too much too often so that baby could learn to burp and fat on her own, in other words, I didn't want her body to become reliant on the help. Still, for about 5 weeks I gave it to her in her morning and night bottle and sometimes just straight in the afternoon if she was having a bad day.
