A member asked:

Can i give my 6 month old teething baby gripe water? she seems more bothered by gas rather than her gums. thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you wish: I'm not convinced that it does anything for babies but it does give moms something to do, and some swear by them. The contents of gripe water are not harmful.
