Gripe water making wind / reflux worse?
Helloo, my little girl is 6 weeks and has a few crying episodes per day, usually related to wind or silent reflux, so I gave her some gripe water this evening. That turned into hours of screaming in pain, sickness twice and lots of assisted farting 😩. Is it possible gripe water has made her reflux/ wind worse?

@Madeline nooo I haven’t, will have a look into it thank you! Xx
I also tried things like gripe water and infacol in the early weeks but they didn’t make a difference to my baby. It turned out that he had CMPI rather than reflux and changing to prescription formula helped!
@Ewa ahhh no way! I’m breastfeeding, think I’ll have to change my diet and see how it’s help 🥲 thank you
Yes perhaps cut out dairy for a bit and see if there’s any improvement:)
