Gripe water

Has anyone used gripe water and found it helps? If so how did you give it/how much/often?
We’ve been using infacol which does seem to have slightly helped with his winding but he’s been having really bad reflux and i just found out that infacol can make it worse so wanting to try something else!!

I used gripe water with my first and preferred it to infacol, but I'm sure you can't give it to babies under 1 month.

I've heard Colief is the best one and multiple midwives have recommended it, but I personally haven't used it x

I used Gripe with my first, and it helped, I'll be using it with my 2nd aswell but you can't use it till they're 1month.
I've never used anything else, so I can't compare. Leaned towards gripe as it's natural

We much preferred gripe water over infacol! My first had awful reflux and it did help

Thank you!! How did you all give it to your little ones??

I used a calpol syringe

@Charlotte we also used a calpol syringe x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?
