Hey, we have quite an unsettled baby who seems like she’s constantly trying to push out a poo/has trapped wind. Our doctor mentioned infacol / gripe water but I know you shouldn’t use both together - which would you recommend!? We have both but can’t work out which to use

So our little one was really suffering screaming in pain it was awful to see so I empathize with you, we had infacol and noticed an immediate difference! I would recommend personally xx

Haven't tried gripe water but infacol definitely helped ours a bit x

Dentinox was recommended to us by the midwife and has been a game changer. We didn’t have much luck with infacol x

I found infacol made my little one constipated so we use colief instead xx

Our little one is also suffering the same... Tried infacol the last 2 days but really seemed like it got things worse and her being constipated. Yet to try anything else x

You can’t use both for the same feed but you can alternate the both of them. I’m in the same boat and found using both alternating each feed has been best for us xx

Infacol helped getting her to go but it made her constipated.

Infacol didn’t work for us but we use dentinox and gripe water. We alternate between feeds leaving 2 hours between x

I would suggest trying infacol first. If your baby is under 4mths they may struggle to swallow the gripe water as they need a thicker consistency when younger.

I’ve been told you can use infacol & gripe water together… We only use both of an evening and a less dose of gripe water. However I’m a little worried now 😳 where does it say you can’t use both?😕

I was told by a pharmacist that you shouldn't give both infacol and gripe water together as they both contain the same ingredients and do the same thing, so essentially giving baby twice to recommended dosage

ah right ok that’s strange because our MW said we can use both… 🫣

I found infacol didnt do anything but gripe water made a big difference for my baby, gets his gas up quickly and seems to clear his bowels out 🤣

how did u administer it? Can I add it to his bottle as I find it tricky to give otherwise?

I put gripe water in the teet of a bottle and let her suck it that way
