Gripe water for tots?

[carli]

Have any of yall given your toddlers gripe water? DD came home tonight crying and holding her stomach. I've never used gripe water before bc she was not a gassy baby but I just happened to buy some for DS today bc he gets so irritated by the hiccups. The bottle says its for all ages. Any thoughts from S13?

I haven't but maybe it's worth a shot. Has she pooped recently? My DD has been complaining a lot more about her tummy hurting when she needs to go

She didn't poop all day. I think she holds it when she's in panties. Since my first post I gave it to her and she's passed a lot of gas and seems to be feeling better. I'm so glad I bought it today! I was skeptical.

I used to give it to DD all the time as a baby to stop hiccups- it worked really well. I believe it's all natural and the active ingredient is just ginger, so I certainly don't think it could hurt.
