> 24 hourLet me start by saying I am not a fan of medicines. I can count on one hand the amount of times Ive given my 3 year old Tylenol. Even through teething. I prefer to find more natural alternatives. That being said, this stuff is what miracles are made of. My second child is a bit gassy sometimes, as infants tend to be a lot between 1-4 months. This stuff is amazing and allows everyone to get some sleep. Whenever she seems colicky or is having a crying fit for more than 20 minutes or so, I go for the gripe water as long as Ive tried changing her diaper, feeding, pacifier and its none of those things. She slurps it up easily, unlike other gripe waters that smell and taste terrible. This one has a very mild flavor (yes, I tasted it). I dont have to wrestle with her to get her to take it. Within minutes, if not seconds, shes calm and feeling better, and usually lets out a huge burp which is the culprit causing her crying fit. She then settles into a nice long restful sleep. We all win. This is why I say it really is Mommys bliss. Sometimes I think it helps produce a bowel movement as well. She will usually poop within 1/2 hour after taking it and its usually larger than most other times, which Im sure helps her tummy as well. I highly recommend this product. The ingredients are very safe in my opinion, and I dont feel weird or scared giving this to her once a day for a couple of days if I have to. Its made up mostly of fennel and ginger extracts, so its not really a medicine. I feel much better about giving this to her than a simethicone medicine which I probably would not give her.

> 24 hourOur son was not a great sleeper during his first year. He would regularly cry uncontrollably in the middle of the night. The gripe water was easy to drink for him and it would calm him down about half of the time we gave it to him...which was still good enough for us. Any help is much appreciated when youre sleep-deprived parents of an inconsolable crying baby at 4am. For all of you parents of colicky, crying, babies... this product might help. And if it doesnt... just know that people always say, it gets better for a reason. It certainly got better for us. Update: We’re on our second child now and “oh joy...another child that isn’t great at sleeping!” Maybe it’s us, maybe it isn’t. Regardless, we’re back to using gripe water. For the most part, we think it’s helping. And even if it’s just a few more minutes of much-deprived sleep, it’s worth it.

> 24 hourIm grateful gripe water exists during my time in motherhood. It works fast and works well. My daughter can have some pretty nasty gas and seeing her in pain just hurts my heart so we give her a dose. In a matter of minutes she calms down and shes back to talking and smiling. You forget why she was fussing and enjoy your happy baby then she passes the gas without any effort or pain and you remember how grateful you are for gripe water. If your child is like ours, she loves to push out anything but formula for breastmilk so drop some in an ounce of formula and your child will get it all. I highly recommend gripe water. My husband didnt have this stuff when he had his first two kids 20 years ago and he hated how they suffered. This stuff is a necessity!

> 24 hourI have a seriously gassy baby, she has been since the day she was born. So much so that we are dressing her as a Whoopie cushion for her first Halloween. Anyway, we had gotten the standard Mylicon drops, and they werent doing a thing for her gas. The doctor said the Mylicon drops do not work for babies that are gassy by nature, and to try Gripe Water instead. So, we did, and it worked! No longer was she tooting every 5 seconds, and writhing trying to get the gas out. She sucks this stuff down like it is candy, too. Probably because it does have some sweet ingredients in it, but she loves it, which is a plus. It is also clear, another big plus in case it starts dribbling down her chin. The only issue I have with this is that it is difficult to give to a baby right out of the package. It doesnt have any kind of dropper or syringe, and when you have to give a 4 month old a teaspoon of something, it isnt like she is going to take it right from a real spoon. We had to use the Mylicon dropper to dispense this to her. Kind of a pain to keep the dropper with the bottle. It would be much nicer if they just had the dropper built into the bottle top. I am confused as to why they dont. But, the effectiveness of the product is top notch, so I will continue to buy this as long as my baby is a toot factory!

> 24 hourThis product may not instantaneously convert a cry to a giggle, but it reduces babys stomach discomfort by converting acidity in the stomach to burps, so try to burp your baby after feeding this. Reduced stomach discomfort lets baby relax, which lets baby go to sleep. Could you ask for more? Were almost though our our first pack of 2 bottles and weve just ordered 2 more packs (4 bottles) so we dont run out. We dont feed baby this with a syringe but in a small bottle instead. We only use the syringe to measure the quantity to put into the empty bottle. Since this liquid flows faster through the nipple than breast milk or formula, your baby may try to drink too much too soon and panic. You dont need to panic though. Just remove the bottle from the babys mouth if baby appears troubled, let baby swallow and clear throat, then resume feeding the remaining liquid in the bottle. Easy does it.

> 24 hourThis product is excellent. My daughter has some fussy issues, and issues also with hiccups on a daily basis. We started to give this to her when she was born and still use it to this day about 4 months later. We have tried other brands but Mommys Bliss seems to be her favorite by a large margin. It is consistent, she can swallow it with ease and works on her hiccups almost right away. A great product

> 24 hourBeen using this for 3 weeks now, works like magic! This is a necessity for my baby. Ive tried Everything! (from gas drops to the Windi, to DR Browns bottles) MAGIC! My baby is 95% less fussy now and i know that this is the reason. Whenever i stop giving the gripe water the colic symptoms return. Shes now cooing away and so happy, I can see her starting to smile now and it melts my heart. she was literally miserable. Screaming all day, she was in so much pain, turning purple from pain. my poor baby. it hurts me to think of the pain she was in, Im tearing up just speaking of it. Im so glad i found this, how could you not try it with all the raving reviews. I honestly thought they were fake that nothing could work this good, but they are real, I was wrong, and it worked for my baby! It should (and i really hope it does) work for yours..... i dont know how but it really really does. Trust The Reviewers on this one! Id def give this a try if you have a gasssy/fussy/colicky baby what do you have to lose. I only wish i wouldve tried sooner!

> 24 hourour baby has bad colic, he loves the flavor so 3 stars, but 0 for it working on his colic. He is 4.5 months, still has colic issues and this doesnt work, its fake news.

> 24 hourI purchased this without reading the ingredients because I assumed all gripe water was the same. This brand contains preservatives and many more ingredients than others. I first used “Little Remedies” and it works so well! My baby would cry with gas and a tummy ache from being constipated and would have a HUGE bowel movement within minutes EVERY time! That brand has way less ingredients and no preservatives which is a big plus in my book. Less is more and it served its purpose! Again, I never tried this and I’m only rating it on its ingredients compared to others.
