How to give gripe water & when?

Question

Do you ladies drop it into the babies bottle or mouth ? & also when? When do you know to do it for gas or fussiness

Answer

Follow instructions on the bottle. It varies brand to brand. The one I have isn't supposed to be given during feedings.

Answer

I normally drop it into the teat from the bottle before or after feed

Answer

My little one chokes on if I give it to him straight so I mix in about an ounce of milk and have him drink it from the bottle. I usually give it an hour or two before bedtime. It seems to be helping his gassiness at night.

Answer

We got this pacifier medication applicator. Baby sucks on it like a pacifier and on the back side you slowly release the meds or gripe water. Worked wonders for our older son too especially when he was teething or sick and we needed to give him Tylenol.
