gripe water is something that i would consider more of a home remedy. it was around for sometime and believe it or not the formula has changed over the years. it has been used to treat colic or gassy babies but it is over-the-counter and it's not really well-known whether or not it works. there were no studies done there is no advocacy studies done either. my concern as a pharmacist is that it does can sometimes contain things like alcohol it contains dill oil sodium bicarbonate sugars this could cause the baby may be to become a little more cranky. actually if i think about sugar a little more hyper may be not sleeping as well. so to be honest with you as a pharmacist my recommendation would probably be to not use it or also talk to your pediatrician and find out that something they really want you to be using with the baby.
