In 1851,
an English pharmacist called William Woodward formed a treatment that was
useful to soothe the fretful babies and offered relief from gastrointestinal
problems in infants. It was the gripe water what we use today to calm our
babies. Here we look at five possible advantages of using a best quality gripe
water such as Colic Calm gripe water.
It treats acid reflux.
Sodium
Bicarbonate is a well-known neutraliser of the stomach acid. When given to an
infant it works as an antacid which helps in the treatment of heartburn, wind,
and indigestion. As sodium bicarbonate is one of the chief ingredients in the
gripe water, it works as an active and speedy relief for babies having acid
reflux.

It treats trapped wind and gas.
The other
principal ingredient in gripe water is the dill seed oil; It is famed for being
a natural soother on stomach muscles. When given through gripe water, dill seed
oil relaxes baby’s tummy and breaks down the trapped air bubbles which are
passed through as wind.
It can help with teething.
When an
infant is teething, they are likely to be quite fussy, and they are likely to
cry more and have irregular breathing. This causes them to breathe in more air
which can lead to the wind. Gripe water can help to ease this wind and calm a
teething infant.
And other symptoms of teething too.
And while
on the subject of a baby's teething, studies also suggest that when a baby is
teething, their salivary glands are working a lot and produce an enzyme which
upsets their stomach. Again, gripe water is known as extremely effective in
treating the upset tummies.
It can help your baby sleep.
Unlike
before, today’s gripe water is almost alcohol-free. It still works to help your
baby sleep, and if your little one has been crying for hours, then the short
relief that comes with administering them a little gripe water might be
precisely what they need to drop off and provide you both some much-needed rest
finally.
