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

As you wish: This product is basically dilute soap.If you want to use it fine, it will give you something to do and feel better for doing something.I personally don't think it does anything worthwhile, but some mom's swear it does. Dosage is an estimate, but most only use a few drops at a time.
