A member asked:
Mylicon or gripe water; is it ok for babies to use this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mylicon (simethicone) is safe for babies. It helps break up small bubbles so they can burp. Gripe water is generally safe for babies. However there are so many different kinds now. Check with your doctor about specific products.
