Gripe Water

Kris · January 14th, 2004, 03:33 PM

Anyone use this?

I just got some and am going to try it with Adam as he is soooo gassy. I hope it works.

Lette · January 14th, 2004, 03:34 PM

My wonderful friend Deb sent me some and although it didn't work well on my son's gas, it does work everytime on his hiccups!

JillMelissa · January 14th, 2004, 05:58 PM

I used this with Emily and it helped a lot... she was the Queen of Colic!

Where do you find this? I've found it online, but I'd love to know of a bricks and mortar place to buy it. Katie has horrible hiccups each day.

Lette · January 15th, 2004, 09:10 AM

Deb got it in Canada, so I have no idea about in the states. Maybe Walmart??

Dennis · January 15th, 2004, 10:19 AM

We couldn't find any place to buy it - we tried all the usual suspects. We had to order it online.

We can get it all over in Canada. How much did it cost you on-line??

ArtsyMom · January 15th, 2004, 11:23 AM

You can get it in Shoppers Drug Mart here in Toronto. It's the generic "Life Brand". I'm sure you can find it in the US (unless it's banned there??? It's only sodium bicarbonate though so it shouldn't be banned).

Try your local drug store or pharmacy.

p.s. I am not convinced it works but DH thinks it does!

I fpund it here in a health foods store. Do you have any health food stores or stores that sell organic stuff? I would try there.

JillMelissa · January 16th, 2004, 10:18 AM

Some small, family-owned pharmacies (i.e., not the big chains like CVS, Walgreens, etc.) carry it near me. But, I bought mine on Ebay.

I feel so loved.

I think I pay 2.99 for gripe water both with and without alcohol at Fortino's. It is $3.99 at ultramart/dominion/a&p as well but that is for the non-alcoholic stuff.

Lauryn stopped crying everytime we gave it to her. Most of the time it was instant.

The "real" Gripe Water is on this website. They have a store locator so you can find it near you. I met the CEO/developer Roshan last weekend at a friend's baby shower. She was so wonderful! Ok - off topic, but I was in awe. Gripe water is such a great product. I have known several babies who don't respond to any other product.

Yep that is the kind I have.

So did she give Gripe Water as her gift?

Nichole · January 27th, 2004, 12:02 PM

Hm, that's the kind I had for Jackson and it didn't work.

Actually no!

Frustrated Father · June 30th, 2006, 01:28 AM

I've tried it 3 times and so far, no luck. For those of you who have used it before, will it take repeated tries, or will it just not work for my baby?

Nichole · June 30th, 2006, 10:54 AM

I think it's one of those things that works for some, but not for all babies.

LISA · June 30th, 2006, 01:39 PM

We couldn't live without gripe water

we would give it to Paige often, we had bottles of the stuff everywhere and in both vehicles just in case
