A. it is not advisable to give gripe water to the child on the regular basis because at the end it is a type of medicine which will help in decreasing the colic pain and improve digestion but yes it has got side effects so do not give this without medical consultation. it contains sodium bicarbonate as well as plenty of sugars which has got side effects for such a small child. between birth to 6 months you have to give only milk to the child in diet (milk contains all the essential nutrients required for the growth of the child). if the growth of the child is proper and the child is healthy then no health supplements are required. the doctor will decide if the child requires vitamin d supplements as well as multivitamin and iron supplements after examination. if you are taking the child in sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes daily than no need to give vitamin d drops if the weight gain of the child is more than 20 to 30 gram per day there is no need to give any multivitamins. please note that it is not advisable to give colic medicine / gripe water / ghutti / constipation medicine / bonissan as well as any other digestive medicines on regularz basis because they are medicines and have side effects.

A. Gripe water is never recommended to be given to the child it is the most unsafe and most unhealthy thing to be given to the child as it can have major side-effects so it’s not at all advisable to be given
