It isn't really an issue these days, so we don't use it much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109509 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:45:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 109509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it quite a bit in the first month, but not much since then. It seemed to really help her tummy more than gas drops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109504 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:44:09 +0000 His Barista 109504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never even heard of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109446 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:05:37 +0000 Rubies 109446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never bought it!

It was a fairly short window ... maybe Month 2-4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109422 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:55:12 +0000 heffalump 109422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never bought it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109416 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:52:33 +0000 SAHM0811 109416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bought but never used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109414 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:51:35 +0000 Mrsbells 109414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Its a liquid blend that supposedly helps with colic, gas, and even hiccups.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Bliss-Liquid-4-ounce-bottle/dp/B0014G1I6E" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Bliss-Liquid-4-ounce-bottle/dp/B0014G1I6E</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109409 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:49:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 109409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used it a lot. i don't know if it did anything, but when your baby is gassy, you want to feel like you're doing something! it seemed to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109407 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:48:44 +0000 autumnlove 109407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same, mine is still unopened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109405 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:48:28 +0000 regberadaisy 109405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is gripe water??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109402 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:47:42 +0000 Andrea 109402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought it but never used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-gripe-water-a-must-have#post-109401 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:47:10 +0000 Mrsbells 109401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am planning to breast feed and also give pumped breast milk using the playtex drop in bottles. I was wondering if its necessary to have gripe water just in case the baby needs it? My mom says its an absolute must have, but i know people who never used it. Did you use/need gripe water for your breastfed baby right from the start? </p>
