Baby boy has been very colicky a fussy, and alot of gas. Is it safe to give to a 2 month old? I've been waiting on a call back from doc all day and I've called 3 times. And he is EBF.



Thanks

Edit::::
I've already tried Burping, bicycling legs, laying on his stomach, massaging belly, warm bath, etc. for 3 days now. And I really don't want to use gas drops bc I really don't think they work. :-(

 We have used it before three months when we were in dire straits.

Did it help? How much? Specific brand?

My baby girl has been on gripe water since she has been on it since she was a month old. I use it for her acid reflux, & gas.

Thanks. I've tried everything :-(. Is there a specific brand?

Mommy's Bliss is what work best for us (and we used it when she was 2-4 weeks old) but I have heard Colic Calm works better and is the only one that is FDA approved and it's almost double the price.

Where can you get it? Walmart? Walgreens? Cvs?

 We have teddy's, I think it's a store brand maybe. But honestly by that point I don't know if it was the gripe water or jsut her exhaustion that put her to sleep! Her belly was hard and gripe water is supposed to be perfectly safe.

I used something called Tummy Soother for my boy beginning when he was about 2 months old and it really works.  It worked better for us than gripe water did.

Never heard of it. Is it drops as well? You get it at drug store?
