Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water can help alleviate the symptoms of your gassy, colicky baby with its blend of time tested, all natural ingredients. Two of its three main ingredients are herbs that have been used for centuries for digestive problems, fennel and ginger. Both of these herbs have a general calming effect on the digestive system and ginger is especially potent towards specifically relieving nausea and gas. The herbs used in this particular product are organic, giving your colicky baby the finest, cleanest ingredients possible. This formula is rounded out with a bit of sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize excess stomach acid that your baby is producing at this time which could be contributing to the problem.
Gripe Water has been used for over a century so it has a proven track record of both safety and effectiveness, and a long one at that! Trusted by mothers in many different countries, this product is manufactured under the strictest quality control to bring your fussy baby the results he or she needs in complete safety.
Here are some tips that you could implement in conjuction with using Gripe Water to maximize the effects and get through this phase of your baby’s life as quickly and painlessly as possible for both of you.
Hold your baby, and use a soothing rocking motion. Find what your baby likes best through trying different positions and swaying motions.
Breastfeeding has been proven to be far superior to formulas, so try to breastfeed at least during that crucial first year of your infants life. This will help establish your baby’s immune and digestive systems properly.
Give your baby easy, full access to your breast anytime they need. This is very comforting to the baby.
Create a gently, safe environment for your child with soothing colors, sounds, a comfortable temperature, and clean soft sheets.
Many new parents have found a calming effect through rather strange, yet effective, means of using ‘white noise’ such as from running a vacuum cleaner or washing machine in the background! You could also take the child for stroller or car rides to see if that helps.
Try what has been dubbed as the ‘gas hold’ by holding the baby over your arm.
If for whatever reason you are not able to breastfeed, which is very important, make sure the hole in your baby bottle is not to big. This could be allowing your baby to suck in too much air when being fed, contributing to painful gas.
Burp your baby as needed during feeding times to keep things balanced out vs building up. Make sure your baby does not overeat, take it slow to give them the nutrition they need without overdoing it.
Remember to use Gripe Water as an adjunct to all the above tips and you and your baby will get through this trying time of colic.
