Can i give my 1month old baby gripe water ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes..but...: Gripe water is innocuous and will give you something to do. Beyond that it's benefit is limited if any at all. Babies fuss using their breathing muscle which pushes their belly out & tight. People assume it's a belly issue but it may not beat all. Unexplained fussiness in infants builds & peaks at 6-8 wks and begins to fade when they are mature enough to roll over.
