I've used it when my daughter was an infant (last year) and it seemed to help a lot with her tummy pains.

Mylacon did not work AT ALL. Little Remedies has something called Tiny Tummies which was the BEST of ALL things we tried (you can get it at Babies R Us) but gripe water worked ok....better than the Mylacon, but not as good as Tiny Tummies.

My second baby had troubles with gas and constipation. My husband's cousin said we should try it, because it worked with her son. It did really well for his gas. It seemed to help his constipation, but I can't be for sure that it was what helped. I forget what brand we used, but we got it at Walgreens.

Love it! It's the only thing that helped my two boys stomachs. Mylicon did nothing for them. I love Gripe water. I was/is a life saver!

I used it with my 2nd...my pediatrician said it was perfectly safe to use, though they weren't altogether sure it was effective in most cases. But it certainly won't hurt them. There were days when I was sure it worked, and others that it didn't seem to. I used it for a few weeks and then she wasn't so fussy anymore so I stopped.
