Gripe water

Maheen

My baby is 1 week 3 days old. He was grunting and looked uncomfortable with gas for past couple of days so I gave him 2 doses of gripe water today n noticed he is more at ease. However, I just read that recommended age is 2 weeks. As a first time mom, I am so worried now. PlEase let me know if it shouldn’t cause harm or your experience if u gave it this early to your baby? Are there side effects I should look out for? Thanks!
