Although it’s bin fifteen years since I had a need for Gripe water, I felt like I needed to do a review on it. My second son not only cried a lot, he screamed his little head off for hours and hours for seven months straight. If I wouldn’t have had Gripe water on hand at all time’s I never would have slept for those seven months. Not that I did get much, but at least having Gripe water helped me to survive those months of hell. At the time I didn’t know how it worked, I just knew it help when nothing else would. I had bottles and bottles of gripe water in my house, in my car, at my moms; I never was with out it. He was the worst while I was trying to feed him and every Doctor I took him to where I live kept trying to tell me it was just colic. I knew that couldn’t be it because my first son had colic and he only cried after feeding, not during before and after like my second son was doing. We finally couldn’t take it any longer and took him to a hospital in London. They did every test they could think of on him, but still couldn’t fine a reason for the crying. Witch up set me even more, but they did send me to a very good Doctor where we live. It was her that told me what was wrong. He was allergic to dairy of any kind and was even allergic to soy milk. All this time the dairy in the formula products that I was feeding him was burning his little tummy. By the time he was seven months old his stomach had been burnt so badly she didn’t know if it would ever heel completely. I was so up set with all the other Doctor’s I had taken him to, but more up set with myself for hurting my baby even though I had know idea I was at the time. I ended up having to feed him goat’s milk and feed him cream of wheat for months after wards. Thank God he’s fine and he can even eat some dairy now, but if I wouldn’t have had all the gripe water on hand that I did at the time, I don’t think either of us would have survived what we both went through. If you have a fussy baby like I did then I’d defiantly tell you to try Kolik Alcohol Free Gripe Water for Babies, but also to watch your baby closely. Pay attention to when he or she is crying and to always talk to your baby’s doctor before trying something on your own.
