I'm sure that some parents with newborns and young babies will understand what I mean when I say that there are times when feeding a baby can be a stressful experience. Middle of the night feeds are never fun and often made worse when your little one can't feed properly due to trapped wind or Colic and it's never nice to see your son or daughter in pain or discomfort when they're unable to fill their tummies. My son was a good feeder for the first 4 weeks or so of his life but as he's grown bigger and now has more formula at bottle time we've found that the last few weeks have often been problematic for him due to trapped wind and, more recently, Colic. ...  Read the complete review

My baby daughter struggles big time in bringing up her wind and therefore tends to suffer for it with spells of sore crying. I have tried literally everything to ease her discomfort - infacol, dentinox, colief drops and then this 'Woodwards Gripe Water' which retails in tesco for £1.95 for a 150ml bottle, and which is the cheapest of all the products which I have tried, though price often makes little difference when you are trying to help you baby when they are in obvious discomfort. On the front of the box it states that this gripe water has been used for over 150 years which is a pretty compelling reason to try it out. My own mother used it with my ...  Read the complete review

Introduction:- Woodwards Gripe Water is an oral solution used that is used for the relief of the symptoms of trapped wind and colic in infants over 1 month and up to 1 year of age. Woodwards have been around since 1851 so this alone says to me they are a well-established and proven company. At around the £2 mark depending on where it is purchased from for a 150ml bottle it is comparatively inexpensive when the advised dose for a 1month - 6month old is 5ml, and for 6 - 12 months is 10ml up to 6 times in one day. We tend to use this with the last couple of bottles of the day as to relieve colic if baby has been suffering earlier in the day so one bottle always ...  Read the complete review

When my son was first born, he suffered from bad wind which gave him alot of pain and discomfort. This is a common problem amongst babies (I don't think I've spoken to a mum yet who hasn't had some kind of problem), but we were lucky enough that it was just a bit of wind and griping pain, not full blown collic. We tried all sorts to help him - drops with his feed to help him bring up the wind as well as omitting a variety of things from my diet as he is breast fed. All this had varying degrees of success. When he was one month old we decided to give woodward's gripe water a go (this is the minimum age at which it can be used). It can be used for babies up ...  Read the complete review

Parents of new born babies will probably agree that trapped wind and colic problems are something that their new born babies seem to suffer from during the early months of life. Sometimes it doesn't matter what precautions you take when feeding your baby to try to minimize the intake of excessive air when they are feeding. We tried all sorts of ways to prevent colic and trapped wind, by limiting the amount of milk consumed, to using different sized teats on baby bottles. It didn't make much difference as the end results were often just the same. Having tried several products that claim to be able to improve things we did at one time turn to Woodwards Gripe ...  Read the complete review
