Gripe Water For Newborns

Gripe water for newborns

is a cure which offers an immediate relief of wind and gripe. Gripe water for newborns was initially developed in England in 1851, and used by baby sitters as a cure for babies with intestinal colic, trapped winds, reflux and many other tummy issues.

Gripe water for newborns is made from the combination of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and herbs such as dill and fennel oils. It is believed that fennel and dill oils help to digest all those big trapped gas bubbles, while the sodium bicarbonate dissolves the acids by neutralising all of them. The relief typically occurs in about 10-20 minutes after the gripe water intake.
