A member asked:
Should you give a 10 month old gripe water everyday to help them sleep or for teething, a cap full in every bottle and 2 at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no. : Gripe water is usually used for stomach upset, gasiness, colic. I haven't found that for my patients it's particularly helpful for teething. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen is typically better.
