Gripe Water

gripe water is the best stuff ever!! In the night brooke would have a hard time going back to sleep after she ate. She would fall asleep on me, but once i put her down she would fuss. It would take an hour or more for her to go back to sleep. And once she was asleep she would squeek and squawk all night (you know those baby noises) which would wake me up, even if she still slept. So i thought one night, i will give her some gripe water. Difference of night and day! even though she wasnt crying in pain, she must have had an upset tummy because i gave her the gripe water after feeding and watched as she would just relax! the stuff works within 5 minutes NO JOKE!! you can watch it comfort them. i have been giving it to her for over a week and she will eat and be back to bed within 30 minutes!! The day before yesterday i ran out and she was just uncomfortable, i couldnt put her down! So i wasnt getting anything done! yesterday i got some more and she could be in the bouncey or car seat and i could do the dishes!! i am telling you this stuff is amazing!! it just settles her tummy! we gave it to hunter when he had gas. i think for brooke she needs it to help digest and settle her tummy. i gave it to my nephew who would cry NON STOP and it was like he was a completely different child! Every mother needs it!
