How to get baby to drink gripe water đŸ˜©

She doesn’t like it. Seems fussy at times when she doesn’t burp. It’s hard to get her to burp. Seems gassy too but hates gripe water for some reason. And the directions say give separately from formula. I also give her probiotic drops but those say you can mix with the formula.

Try gas drops instead.

I think the consistency is what throws babies off. It’s much thinner than formula/breastmilk, or so I’ve noticed. So I try to give it as slowly as possible and allow them to swallow little bits at a time. Make sure they’re not crying and sit them up when you give it! â˜ș

So I do mine in the Frida baby paci and that seems to be the only way I can get mine to take any types of meds.

Mine will push most of it out of his mouth with a syringe, so i put it in a bottle nipple and he does much better that way

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps:

"It sounds like you're navigating a challenging situation with your baby. To help her take gripe water, try offering it in a small syringe or dropper, which can make it easier for her to swallow without the fuss of a bottle. You might also try giving it to her when she's calm or sleepy, as she may be more receptive then.

Since you mentioned she's gassy and fussy, ensure you're burping her frequently during and after feedings; try different positions, like holding her upright or gently patting her back. If she's still resistant to gripe water, you might consider discussing alternative remedies with your healthcare provider, as there are other options available for gas relief.

Have you noticed any particular times when she seems more uncomfortable or gassy?"
