2month old twins can i use simethicome gas drops and organic gripe water at the same time?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably yes, but...: Simethicone reduces bloating, and is safe. It won't help other causes of fussiness. Gripe water is a mixture of herbs and water, used to reduce fussiness in general. Studies have not shown a reliable benefit with it. Because the ingredients are not standardized or regulated, it's hard to endorse gripe water for babies. But there's no contraindication to giving both remedies at the same time.

Yes: It will give you something to do....but I doubt either will help much.Infants are often fussy at that age for no specific reason and begin to settle after they begin to move more/roll.
