Hi and welcome,
Actually, it was just our experience that gripe waters made our baby worse. I realized that when I was pregnant and had heartburn and drank water it got worse and what a mistake it was to give that to my baby!
What was the BEST for us was a good dose of a PPI (like prevacid) and getting the intolerance issues under control. Again, that was just our experience.
Again, welcome. The advice doesn’t get much better than Laura’s Groupie intro link.
