Grips water and gas drops have been life savers. And we also have some saline drops for his little nose!

Newborns can’t have any medication until 2 months old. Double check with your pediatrician but that’s what ours told us. The only thing she told us to give him is the daily vitamin D drops since he doesn’t get it from breast milk.
