Colick And Hunger problem... My solution

 Every mother has the dreadful experience of handling a colicky baby. The sleepless 

nights, the incessant crying and mounting frustration, was too much for my lacerated 

nerves.

 In all such times there was this one thing I could always rely on….Gripe water.


The first gripe water was formulated in England in1851 and used by English 

nannies.Gripe water was discovered accidentally by William Woodward,an American 

doctor working in England,while treating fen fever and malaria.

He observed that the medicines used in these diseases also helped sooth down a fussy 

baby. Gripe water  quickly adopted as a prescription by physicians



                               WOODARD'S GRIPE WATER:

Sodium bicarbonate is the primary ingrediant along with dill and fennel oil.Its 

effectivity is questioned by physicians nowadays but I find it really effective.








I have tried every thing for my colicky baby, from belly massage, hamdard ghutti, 

fennel tea, avoiding gassy food etc. But the one thing that worked for me time and 

time again was gripe water.


1/2teaspoon to my baby from birth to 1 month old, and then 1 teaspoon solved the 

colic problem to some extent. The frequency of colic episodes was reduced and it 

provided immediate relief .


 When my pre-schooler had hunger issues I started giving him gripe water every day 

1teaspoon twice daily. It solved the problem greatly.
 

It also helps in constipation.


If your baby doesn’t like gripe water give it like a medicine. Eventually she will like

 it…all babies do.


It is really harmless.Do give it a try.
