Gripe Water rec's???

[Sleepyheaded_Mama]

Has anyone tried Wellements Gripe Water for reflux? Or any other brand? Every brand I've come across thus far either has different ingredients or differing amounts of the same ingredients, so I'm not really sure where to start.

I have only tried Colic Calm. It works, but it was really expensive. I bet you could get the same results with a cheaper brand. Plus, Colic Calm is BLACK (because of the vegetable charcoal) and hard to get out of burp cloths or clothes if DS spits up.

I'm also interested to hear what other brands work. When we run out of Colic Calm, I probably won't be able to afford another bottle and would like to buy something else.

We used to use (and still break out once in a while) Colic Ease - love it cause it has no charcoal or sodium bicarbonate and really seems to help!

We also used Colic Calm. It worked, but we have a lot of clothes and sheets with black stains on them now.

We use Baby Bliss, but the ped said we could use chamomile or ginger tea instead, to avoid the sugars (in the same dosage). I wouldn't be comfortable doing that with a NB, but with my 4 mo I would be.

My ped also mentioned chamomile. He is from India and said that while gripe water has been used there for over a century, he says that many of his Latino patients use chamomile to calm their babies and it seems to work well. He told me that no one seems to have had an adverse reaction from it. Just a thought.
