GRIPE WATER IS A GOD SEND!

Oh my god.

I was extremely skeptical of using gripe water, but after weeks of my son screaming and turning red in the face at bedtime because of an upset tummy and gas, I finally decided it was time to give it a try. My son typically had a set schedule of when he would wake up at night - he had a 9pm bedtime, and then up at midnight, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. It was exhausting for the both of us.

So finally, FINALLY, I caved. I bought the Little Remedies gripe water because it was the most natural that I could find. My son is 7 weeks and it recommended using 5mL, but I decided to try a half dose first, so 2.5mL.

He woke up twice! In the 7 weeks since he has been born I have not been able to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time. For the past two nights, he woke up at 1 and 5.

I just needed to tell you all about this in hopes that it'll help another tired mama 😘
