Gripe Water is a time-tested liquid supplement used to soothe digestive discomfort in infants. Most modern formulations (like Woodward's or similar alcohol-free brands) are made with natural ingredients such as dill seed oil and sodium bicarbonate. It is designed to be gentle on a baby’s delicate stomach while providing quick relief from common digestive issues.
Gripe Water is primarily indicated for minor digestive upsets in infants. It is used to:
Relieve Gas and Flatulence: Helps break down gas bubbles that cause a baby to feel "tight" or bloated.
Soothe Infant Colic: Calms the irritability and excessive crying associated with evening colic.
Relieve Hiccups: The gentle warming effect of the herbal oils often helps stop persistent hiccups.
Assist with Teething Discomfort: Often used to soothe the stomach upset or "fussiness" that occurs when babies swallow excess saliva during teething.
1 to 6 Months: 5ml (one teaspoon) during or after each feed.
6 to 12 Months: 10ml (two teaspoons) during or after each feed.
Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 6 doses in a 24-hour period.
Note: Always use the measuring spoon or syringe provided. It is not generally recommended for infants under 1 month old unless specified by a pediatrician.
To ensure the best results for your baby:
Timing: Can be given during or immediately after a feed.
Administration: Many parents find it easiest to give the liquid slowly via a medicine syringe into the side of the baby's mouth.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Most brands recommend discarding the bottle 4 weeks after opening to ensure the freshness of the natural oils.
Appearance: If the liquid becomes cloudy or contains floating particles, do not use it.
Dill Seed Oil (Terpeneless): Warms and relaxes the tummy, helping to break down trapped air.
Sodium Bicarbonate: Acts as a mild antacid to neutralize excess stomach acid.
Alcohol-Free & Sugar-Free: Modern versions are formulated without alcohol or sugar to ensure they are safe for pediatric use.
Indicated For: Infants from 1 month to 12 months old.
Precautions: Do not use if the baby is allergic to any of the ingredients.
Medical Consultation: If your baby’s symptoms are accompanied by a high fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, please consult a pediatrician or our pharmacist immediately.
Q: Does it work better than Infacol?
A: They work differently. Infacol focuses specifically on grouping small gas bubbles together, while Gripe Water provides a warming, antacid effect. Many parents use Gripe Water specifically for hiccups and general "fussy" stomachs.
Q: Will it make my baby sleepy?
A: No. Gripe Water does not contain sedatives. However, babies often fall asleep once their stomach pain is relieved and they feel comfortable.
Q: Can I mix it with the baby’s formula?
A: It is generally most effective when given directly. If mixed with a full bottle, the baby might not finish the bottle and therefore won't get the full dose of medicine.
