Question 1

is gripe water same as mylicon drops?

Accepted Answer

No: Mylicon is a brand name;  active ingredient is simethicone-dispersal agent that affects surface tension of bubbles-causes them to pop; has a flavoring agent as well. Gripe water was a branded preparation (originally with some alcohol included), no longer. Now, all "gripe waters" have sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), usually with fennel and/or dill, a sweetener, and often some other ingredients.

Question 2

is gripe water the same as mylicon drops for babies?

Accepted Answer

No: The chemistries are different. The gas drops are supposed to break down the bubbles to pass in an easier fashion. Gripe contains a number of products traditionally used to calm the baby, in small quantities.Whether it works is not clear, as  are the gas drops.

Question 3

can i give my 10 day old baby mylicon drops, if so how much?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why??: Mylicon is a brand name for simethicone.  It breaks down the walls between bubbles.  Remember when you were a kid drinking soda and you put a straw in the glass and blew in air and collapsed the bubbles in the glass. That's what Mylicon does. When a baby sucks in liquid they suck in a lot of air too. so they get a lot of air in their stomach. Mylicon breaks down the walls so the gas comes up in on

Question 4

is it safe to give mylicon drops to a 2 year old toddler everyday? 0.3ml dose, twice a day? my son's tummy is usually bloated without it.

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's safe to use Simethicone on a daily basis.  It is not absorbed systemically,  just stays in the GI tract and breaks up gas bubbles.  Look also into why he's so bloated - is there a food sensitivity,  eating too fast,  drinking soda? All of these and many more can be causes, so keep an eye open and/or talk to your pediatrician.
