A. Please avoid giving gripe water to your baby. Some brands for gripe water are also known to use artificial sweeteners which can be harmful for a baby's health. Some brands even contain sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda and this can cause a milk alkali syndrome which causes a surge in the levels of calcium in the blood. Sometimes gripe water brands may even add chemicals. Some may even have parabens, vegetable carbon or dairy products that should be avoided. Instead, try a gentle tummy massage to help get rid of abdominal tension and gas. Apply light pressure on baby's tummy by rubbing his belly. Burp the baby during and after each feed. Swaddling your baby also helps.
