Is Gripe water safe for infants? apparently, my pediac doesn't recommend gripe water and told us to give colicaid in case of gassy stomach. when can a gripe water be given?

hey... my pediatrician said the same.. my baby was too gassy n used to cry out of pain.. you can give himalayas bonnisan to your baby.. twice a day... it helps digestion.. reduces gasses n also helps baby to have a calm n peaceful sleep... working for my baby... :) no more gas... n also don't forget to burp your baby.. (mandatory)

Gripe water is not harmful , in fact I am giving since my baby was two months half a tea spoon daily in the afternoon time. And yes if my baby is irritated and not comfortable like not poop for 3 4 days and baby is gassy then I use colic aid drops. Actually it works ,I don't give daily.
