Gripe water

ma

So i’ve seen a couple of posts on facebook about gripe water and how it’s “bad” or how moms don’t trust it so i guess my question is why do others feel this way? & mamas who do use gripe water does it help? i don’t really have an opinion on it either way because i’ve only used gripe water a handful of times for my son but just wondering if it’s something i should use?
