I bought some at the local walgreens since i could not find gripe water and was wondering if anyone has had success with these? I have a 4 week old daughter and will be trying these out soon but was just wondering how these worked compared to the gripe water. thanks so much for any replies!!

The gripe water at walgreens is called "Tummy Soother" It says on the packagr: "Gentle Naturals" and then "Tummy Soother" in the baby care isle for 5.99. On the bottom it says it is made by baby orajel. We started using it recently.

I haven't really noticed a difference yet. We mamke improvements andthen things decline again. What are your colic tablets called? How do you use them?

they're called hyland's colic tablets and they say it has no side effects etc. the directions say dissolve two tablets under tongue every fifteen minutes as needed as much as 8 times in a row i believe. the tabs dissolve fast and its funny watching the expressions on her face while they dissolve. and the good thing is she stops crying when she notices something in her mouth. well at least til they dissolve!!
I know what u mean about improvements and declines, every day is different for us too
