Infacol contains simeticone which breaks down and disperses gas bubbles in the tum and makes them easier to get up. Gripe water contains dill oil which relaxes the tummy and sodium hydrogen carbonate which neutralises acid. Colief is a bit different and contains lactase which is an enzyme that breaks down the sugar in milk, useful if baby gets too much foremilk or is lactose intolerant which you can tell if baby does green frothy poos. I found dentinox a bit rubbish, only got it because we ran out of infacol and the shop only had dentinox, we used it for 2 days and she had 2 really bad nights on it so we switched back to infacol and she is much better.
I don't know about actually working, but LO tolerates Infacol a lot better than Dentinox. Infacol has an orangey taste, Dentinox is basically minging TCP-ish. Might be different with FF as it's added to bottle but trying to get 2. I do a snooze for a hr during day if i can too. Xx u aren't alone! I used grip water I put it in my sons bottle and the through out the day I just dip his dummy in it and it seems to help get his wind up but my son suffers bad come a evening with colic.
My lg's seems worse in the daytime strangely enough, or any time from morning to bed time anyway. She burps but as I say just since Friday has been in quite some pain quite often, but is perfectly happy in between. It just came out of nowhere so I'm hoping it will just go! Some days are better than others but its been everyday for a week and I guess I'm just an over anxious mother lol.

I use grippe water and Infacol and they seem to be doing the trick!! Infacol has been a life-saver. Can't find your answer? Hi Nicola. Sorry late replying. Yeah you can. I did the same. I liked to make up the bottles before hand so when he started niggling i had it ready and it still worked wonders for me even 3 hrs later.

There are no known problems with taking herbal remedies and supplements with simeticone. My only niggle was that the bottle leaked when I was out and about. What was strange was it only worked when the music was coming out of my phone, not the radio. She also loved the hairdryer and would go into a silent trance every time we switched it on. It was hard work, but it did provide her with some much-needed relief. I did this most nights for about minutes, and it really seemed to help ease her constipation.
