Gas drops for baby?

[af1212]

My daughter (8 weeks) wakes herself up at night with gas. This only happens at night - not during the day. The dr suggested trying gas drops. What do I need to know about them? Do they work? Any side effects?

Thanks!

We use them on C occasionally. They seem to work.

We tried them with DD but they seemed to have little to no effect. She was a very gassy newborn though.

I had two very gassy newborns and found gripe water to work better than gas drops for both. When I did use gas drops I used mylicon. Didnt notice any side effects.

I used mylicon for DD, but I don't think it did anything. Mostly it just made me feel like I was doing everything I could to help her when she was miserable :-(

I think they are liquid gold. I gave them to DD with every single feeding for at least a couple months. I used the Target brand- so much cheaper than other brands and work great. I also tried Little Tummies and didn't think they worked as well (probably all in my head, I know.) I would just give the drops to DD when switching boobs during a feeding.

Thanks all - we'll try the cvs ones tonight and hope for better sleep

This was our experience too--only the Target brand worked for us.

Tried them last night and she did not wake up once from gas (still to eat though) - yay!

Mommy's Bliss worked well for us.
