In earlier days gripe water was given to ease the gas in the stomach of the babies. But these days gripe water is not given to the babies. Doctors only tell us to avoid giving it.

Even my doctor advised not to give. However my mother insists to give as my7 month old vomits at times which smells sour. Is there any alternative thing for indigestion.

Gripe water is basically to ease the gas. I have given for three months and also discussed with pedestrian. I have given 1. 5 ml in the afternoon time. It helped for me . Now I am giving colic aid drops if my baby is gassy

Most of the doctors nowadays do not suggest Gripe water as it has alcohol content. try ayurvedic drops... Himalaya Bonnisan. it works really well. your lo with release gas.. all the best.
