  • I think your baby will be fine, but I am not an expert of any kind..If you notice a change in baby in any way then go to hosp or call doc. Usually expired medicines just lose their effectiveness so I wouldn't worry too much just keep an eye out.

  • Put it in the garbage and buy a new kind tomarrow. You have nothing to worry about. Next time just look at the bottle date. If your THAT worried i suggest you call poison control. The fact that you can usually give gas medicine as often as needed makes me feel that its not gonna hurt your baby. Just buy a new bottle tomarrow.

  • They usually just lose their effectiveness, not like food that would spoil. Call a pharmacist and ask, they will know, and actually pharmacists usually know more about medicines than doctors. I am lucky because my Dr, was a pharmacist before become a Dr.

  • Mylicon is simply silicon. It won't hurt the baby to have it when its expired.. but to be safe I'd just throw it away and get some new stuff in the morning

  • Don't panic unless baby is sick. Then just throw it out and buy a new one.
