GRIPE WATER

GRIPE WATER 

Gripe water is a liquid medication that is often given to babies and infants to help relieve discomfort caused by colic, gas, and other stomach issues. It typically contains ingredients such as fennel, ginger, and dill, which are thought to have a soothing effect on the digestive system. Gripe water is usually given to babies in small doses using an eyedropper or a special measuring spoon. It is generally considered safe for use in babies, but it is always a good idea to consult with a pediatrician before giving it to an infant.

Gripe water is not a FDA approved medication, it is considered as a dietary supplement. The original formula was created in 1851 by William Woodward, a British pharmacist, who developed it to ease digestive discomfort in infants. It is available over the counter and can be found in most baby stores and some pharmacies.
