The best formula on the market,
I started to use Similac when my Baby was first born. I couldn’t stand the smell of it and my daughter was getting lots of gas and spit up. I decided to change to Earth’s Best and it was the best choice ever! This formula doesn’t not smell, looks more like breast milk and my Baby doesn’t have any tummy problems or painful gas. It’s truly a wonderful product. It is a little expensive, but it’s definitely worth the higher price.
Best for “spitty” and “gassy” babies!,
This formula is the the best formula! I switched to Earth’s Best when the formula I was using had been recalled. Another reason is that my baby was spitting up a lot with the former formula and was extremely gassy but the pediatrician and I thought she was just a “spitty” and “gassy” baby. Her tummy could not tolerate other formulas either so I was very hesitant about trying Earth’s Best at first but I didn’t have many other options. It supposedly has real lactose and is less sweet than some of the other formulas and it has generally good reviews on web sites I researched. Since we switched to this formula a few months ago, my baby doesn’t spit up anymore and she is less gassy. The formula must be a lot easier to digest for sensitive babies. As the company’s name indicates, it really is the best!!! I order this formula repeatedly from Amazon b/c you can’t beat their price anywhere!
Our girl is happy with it.,
This formula is all we have used for our nine month old baby since she was born. It mixes well even with the water from our filtered tap. She has grown well and is healthy overall.
Made my daughter gassy and fussy until 8 weeks old!,
I love using organic milk, but this made our baby girl very gassy, fussy and she spit it up.
Since switching her to Enfamil Gentlease she has been fine. I wish they’d make a gentler organic milk formula too.
At 8 weeks we have gone back and tried this formula again b/c we had 2 big cans of this left in the cupboard. She has no problems now with this formula at all. So we will now use this from now on since organic milk is important to us.
great!,
we exclusively breastfed for 4 months, and then introduced formula. he gets maybe 1 bottle a day of formula, or if i leave him for a few hours he will have it then. it’s great stuff and my son loves it. i tried enfamil and good start first and he hated the way they tasted. they even smelled bad. this one is awesome and he loves it!!
This is the only formula we use!!!,
When we started shopping for formulas for our DD to supplement, we reviewed and researched all possible options out there. After a considerable review and research we decided that this is the best one we could find in the market for now.
There are several reasons why we picked this over the others..
- This is organic (so a lot friendly to the baby as well as the environment).
- Pesticide / Chemicals / Hormone Free
- This was very very close to breast milk and our DD did have any problems switching back and forth between breast milk and the formula.
- The bowl movements were regulated and resembled very close how it would look if she were only breast fed.
- Less Gas / Less Iritations
- AMAZON’s amazing price offer (on Subscription).
The best
This is the only formula my boy would tolerate. I love the fact that it is Organic. Other formulas would give him a lot of gas and therefore sleepless nights for me. This is a savior for sensitive tummies.
Great on sensitive tummies
My son was a very ineffective nurser, and lost too much weight in the beginning, so we ended up having to supplement with formula. At the hospital, they gave us some ready to eat similac, and it was terrible. He threw up almost every time we fed it to him, and the stuff looked and smelled terrible — thick, dark, sticky, and overly sweet. We try to go as organic as possible, so as soon as we found out we had to give our son formula, we searched for a good organic.
This seems to be great. It doesn’t have that overly sweet smell to it that the similac had. In fact, my husband being the curious creature that he is has tasted both, and says that the Earth’s Best is much better. It just looks and smells much more like something that you should give a baby. WE also have very few problems with him spitting up with this formula. He is now strictly a formula baby, and gaining weight above and beyond what his doctor had hoped to see.
I order the formula through Amazon Subscribe and Save. It saves a bunch of money (which is pretty nice at $30 a can!) and it’s automatically shipped to me every month (I get 4 cans a month, but plan on upping that as his appetite increases), and don’t have to worry about running out and having to make those late-night emergency runs to the store. I love Amazon!
We Love this Formula
We love this Formula for a few reasons. One it is pestiside free another it is usda cert organic not all the organic formula’s are. The best reason our son is moving his bowels once a day. All the other formula we tried gave him bad painful gas and spit up and he wouldn’t go to the bathroom but every three or four days. The formula doesn’t make me want to vomit every time I make him a bottle every formula smells awful except this one it’s the closest thing to breast milk for our son.
EARTH’S BEST Formula is the BEST!!!
I have been using this product since my daughter was 4 months old and she LOVES it. We haven’t had any issues with spitting up or irritating her stomach. We used it in addition to breastmilk and she was willing to take both!! We really felt strongly about giving our daughter the best in organic products and felt that a company that focuses only on organic would be the best choice for us. So far we have had nothing but success!! She is now also enjoying the rice cereal and solid food!!
Good quality formula,
I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this formula, on auto-ship, for my grandson. It was the only one I found which had, as the first ingredient, organic whey. He has been drinking this formula for five months now, and is doing great. It pays to look closely at ingredients. Your child’s nutrition is NOT something to risk on the “bargain” formula or food. Buy used clothing, but get the best formula you can find.
Excellent product,
We began feeding my daughter formula at 9 mos. due to medical reasons. I did a lot of research prior to finding this product. It has been wonderful. It smells good, she had no aversion to the taste and made the change without incident. It caused no tummy upset. Amazon’s Subscribe and Save program has been cost effective and easy to use. I am so glad we found this product!
Best formula
I was told about this product and I love it. And knowing that my child gets the best for formula out there makes me happy. I like the fact that it does not have corn syrup solids in it like Simalac and all the rest. Its as natural as be for formula. I am so happy that they make organic formula that is not from a Pharmaceutical company.
Earths Best is the BEST !!
Because the Earths Best Formula saved me tons of sleep I rate it a 5 stars !! Our baby was fussy, trouble being regular and sleeping thru
the night.. Our Doctor recomended we change to Earth Best and WOW
it has been great. I feel good feeding Organic. The best part is the
price…This is the Monster size can ! I looked at other web sights
and amazon.com has the best price and so much cheaper than stores.
We saved an extra 15% by getting it auto shipped. I would also highly
recomend the Eaths Best baby food jars on amazon also. We get a couple of the variey packs shipped on subscribe and save.. that has saved me more than one late night trip to the stores
A happy baby and happy wife….mean a very rested and happy Dad !!
Eco-Babe In Progress
I love this book! Most green guides repeat the same information. This one gave me much more than that. What’s even better is that Stephanie Byng breaks it down so that you can figure out what she’s talking about even if you’ve never heard of it. I like the fact that she breaks down the label reading process rather than just giving you a few of the famous carcinogens. I would definitely recommend this book and buy more by this author depending upon subject.
Great read!
This is a phenomenal guide. It’s great for a full read through but is organized well enough to allow it to be a quick reference guide handy to keep out for common use. It’s clear that the author did her research (and a lot of it). It’s written with a spunky fun author’s voice that makes it relatable and memorable. A must-have!
great green guideThis book is a great guide! i picked it up wanting to learn ways i could be more green in my life and it was super informative. The author has tried all suggestions herself so right there you get first person about what works best and why. which i found very helpful. Since ive read it ive picked a lot of these practices and not to sound melodramatic but it has changed my life, especially the femine hygeine section of how to green it, i no longer use tampons/pads im now an avid fan of the diva cup. She covers every subject possible in here that a girl would need.From green clothes, cleaning products, food, and beauty supplies, just about every thing. it gives you resources and listes of this produces to find and use yourself. I have even caught myself going back to it a few times for more info. its definitly worth picking up whether just to green up your life a little or a lot.
Eco Review
A fellow student in my class just published this book in 2008 so I just had to buy it and have her sign it. It come as planned and she loved the idea of me buying her book. Thank you.
((((huggs))))
Love,
Tell Kermit, It IS easy being green!
This book should be in every school, doctor’s office, daycare center and home. Look at American kids today. Sick sick sick. Asthma, ear infections, food allergies, environmental allergies, ADHD, seizures, mental illness, autism, learning disabilities. Our kids are bearing the brunt of our toxic world. Deirdre explains what’s going on and offers solutions in an easy to ready book. In a world where parents are determined to raise the next LeBron or Tiger, enrolling their kids in class after class to get a leg up on the competition and sacrificing left and right to make sure their kids have the best of everything, what good is all of that if the child is not well?
Parents have the power to make their kids lives’ safer. Deirdre helps you to learn how.
This is a perfect baby shower gift, Mother’s day or Father’s day gift, end of year teacher gift. Even a copy for Grandma and Grandpa who may still have a bottle of rat poison next to the lead paint cans in the garage….. It’s never too late to learn!
Comprehensive and Very Well Done
Growing Up Green, by Deirdre Imus, is a well-researched and comprehensive book on how to make your child’s world eco-friendly to keep them healthy.
Imus presents to problem in the introduction: “The World Health Organization estimates that we could prevent more than 80 percent of all chronic illnesses by improving our lifestyles in simple ways, like working to reduce our exposure to environmental pollutants and eating a healthier diet. Eighty percent! So why aren’t we doing more to protect our children?”
In chapter two, Imus addresses the role of the environment in children’s health. Specifically, she writes about the health issues caused by pollution including learning disabilities, headaches, hyperactivity, asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, autism, pediatric cancer and more.
“Prevention is the best cure,” Imus says.
With prevention is the best cure in mind, the remaining chapters focus on way to keep your kids healthy, beginning with preparation for pregnancy. This chapter includes information on greening your home by replacing toxic chemicals with safe products. She also discusses green building and specific green tips for the nursery.
The following chapter shows the expectant mother how to eat healthy for two.
Next, Imus describes how to develop a healthy eating “palate” for your baby, which includes organic and healthy food.
Imus writes about all green aspects of your child’s life, including safe toys and personal care products. One of my favorite tips was to use apple cider vinegar in the bath, as it boosts mood and is relaxing for children. Add bubbles to the vinegar in the bath and you get amazing and fun foam!
The chapter on pediatrics was excellent and covers vaccinations, antibiotic overload, natural homeopathic cures and more.
Imus even includes a section on getting the schools to go green.
Finally, the book includes a list of basic foods for your kitchen, healthy breakfast recipes and easy recipes, recommended reading and resources.
The book is health insurance for your kids.
By the author of the award winning book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet.
Thorough and Trustworthy
This book is proving itself to be a thorough and trustworthy reference. I’m finding that each time there’s a new and worrisome problem in the news (first it was lead paint on the toys, and now it’s toxic plastic in the baby bottles), I can turn to reassuring, authoritative advice in Raising Baby Green. Check out the box on page 132 for help in choosing safe baby bottles (if you don’t have the book, you can look it up here on Amazon.) There’s a huge amount of information packed into this book, (great index, by the way) and thankfully it’s not preachy, just very helpful!
Excellent
Although I was hoping for more some tips during pregnancy, this is an excellent book for raising your baby green. It has some fantastic tips on everything from painting your room to laundry detergents. Some of these tips are even helpful for you even if you are not expecting a child or work with children.
Fantastic Book!
This book was a gift for a friend who is pregnant with her first child. I heard an interview on NPR’s People’s Pharmacy and expected the book to great. I was thrilled. It was better than I imagined. My friend loved it too and is excited to apply some of the great advice. I recommend this book to anyone who has children or is thinking of starting a family.
The BEST baby book – essential for every parent!!!!!!
This book is incredibly helpful and I am so grateful to finally have a resource like this. With all of the harmful things in our environment today, it is hard to navigate through it all and know you are doing the very best to raise a healthy child. This book helps me feel empowered. I am giving this book at every baby shower I go to. If you only buy or have time to ready one baby book – this is the one!!!!
Wonderful!!!
What a great book!!! So much detailed information, with interesting facts and studies, I could hardly put it down. This book is a must for anyone thinking about having children, or just wanting to improve the quality of their life. You’ll soon realize that there is a lot you can do to make your house and your lifestlye a healthier one.
Very informative book and well worth the read
I think this is a very good to start raising a green baby. I wasn’t the most eco-educated person out there, but I tried to do my part. When my wife and I started to try to have a baby, I wanted to have a healthy baby and started to do more research. What I like about this book is that it has a ton of information and resources and all laid out in a logical manner. The book was very easy to read, although I did not read every single page. I took note of a lot of tips (just bought some castile soap from Trader Joe’s w/ my reusable bag) and websites. I liked the pages on the chemicals you should not purchase. I actually wrote them on back of my printout of the Environmental Defense Fund Seafood Selector guide. I used that chemicals list to check against sunscreen that I was looking to purchase, which I found that most sunscreens have one or more of those chemicals even the ones that say organics. I won’t follow every single advice in the book just because of practicality or cost reasons, but at least I’ll be a more educated parent on raising a greener baby. As with every book, you should use your own common sense when following an author’s advice.
On a side note, there is so much information out there and sometimes conflicting information. It seems to me that one study will contradict another study that was done just a few months ago!! Case in point is Brenda Murray’s review on when to fill-up your car. One study says it doesn’t matter and another says it does matter (take a look at the comments on her review). I live in Phoenix and they actually do say you should fill your car up at night (or early morning) not because of air pollution, but because of how the regulators (I think) on the pumps work. It actually cost less to fill-up when it the temperature is cooler than when it is hot. I wish I could find the Arizona Republic article that talked more to the technical side of why this is the case and why the state is trying to change the regulators.
Lastly, in Brenda Murray’s review, the author (Alan Greene) actually comments on her review. Some people might find this self-serving or being an ego maniac, but I found it very refreshing as he wanted to provide additional insight. I don’t know if many authors would do this, but I found it very refreshing for the author to do this and the tone of his comment was not negative or preachy. In my opinion, he does really seem to care about the subject.
My new favorite baby gift
I love giving books to expectant parents, especially books written by experts who are both reassuring and inspirational — and that’s Dr. Greene to a T. For your next baby shower, you could package this book with some of the products mentioned, or a coupon to come over and help the new parents “greenproof” the house. We can take nesting to a whole new level with this fun and engaging guide!
Great Book, every new parent should own a copy.
I thought this book was an excellent source of information for those wanting to live a more “natural” lifestyle. It contains tons of information on product materials, even to the point of being scary as to what we expose our children/family to on a daily basis. I do think, however, that it should be titled to include the entire family and not just baby since most of the infomation in it is not soley directed at baby care. It would make the book more appealing to a larger audience.

it does not retail at $41 a can – even at its manufacturer
This is a wonderful formula.
However, it is misleading to list this product at a higher price and appear as if Amazon carries it at a reduced price. It is priced at [..] at Whole Foods, same size. It is also available for online order at Earth’s Best (the manufacturer) on their online store’s website at [..].
The only place you are saving is to order more than one by monthly subscription through Amazon.
Love it!
Our baby has been on this formula and breast milk for a few months now. She doesn’t have much gas from it. It does take some vigorous shaking to totally dissolve the formula. I let it settle a bit prior to giving it to her so that there are less bubbles in the formula which in turn is less air in her belly. I love the larger can, more bang for your buck and am hoping that Amazon puts this on Subscribe and Save soon. I purchased it for 86…it was in the Friday sale section one week. So look there a couple of weeks if you are not in a hurry to get.
4/14/11 It is cheaper to get get the smaller can on subscribe and save rather than this one!
25.75oz can with subscribe & save is 0.772/ounce (4 can pack) at 79.57/case (on subscribe and save)
31.75oz can is 0.858/ounce (4 can pack) at 109/case
The ONLY formula to use!
No one had told me about this product because I am breastfeeding, but when I realized I was going to supplement at night I wanted to find a formula that would work well with breastfeeding. I tried everything on the market and all of them had added sugars and made my baby boy extra gassy and some even gave him a rash. I started reading reviews and found out about Earth’s Best. It is amazing! It smells good, it lessened his gassiness and he absolutely loves the taste. I predominatey breastfeed, but the two bottles he gets a day are always Earth’s Best…you won’t be disapointed. (Too much sugar and carbs in the others).

Great Product, Great deal, but not in the summer
This has been a great product for our daughter and we will continue to have her use it. Amazons price through subscribe in save is near impossible to beat. There are 2 problems. 1. We live in Tucson and the formula arrives very hot. The product explains that it should never be exposed to extreme temperatures. It gets so hot in the UPS truck that when you pop the lid it sprays out powder. That amount of heat is likely not good for some of the ingredients. 2. Amazons warehouse does a poor job packaging the cans. They put the cans to one edge of the box with bubble plastic on the other end. The cans get dented and Ive read where they have arrived opened. The product itself is fantastic.

Great formula, mixes well and organic is a plus
I switched from enfamil to this. Baby seems to like this much better. The formula is expensive but i have found the best deal on amazon. They had a price mistake so they were giving it for $27 for 4 cans… which got fixed later. But now they had other deals and with subscribe and save it is about $17.15, best price i have found… specially when it retails for $30 +tax.
Tolerated just as well as breastmilk
Unlike my previous three children, I was unable to BF our fourth child. But when I tried Earth’s Best Organic Infant Formula, I knew I was giving my child the best formula I could buy. I was surprised to find that my son tolerates this formula every bit as well as my BF babies….maybe even a little better. No reflux causing spit up. No gas. We tried the leading national brand while on vacation b/c an obscure grocery didn’t have any Earth’s Best. He was so gaseous and uncomfortable all weekend. We couldn’t wait to get back to Earth’s Best. And you can’t find a better deal than amazon.com direct shipping, to boot!!
Great Formula, with great ingredients
All infant formulas have the same ratios of nutrients – that’s mandated by the government. However, the ingredients used to source those nutrients, that’s what’s important. Earth’s Best is organic, and made with wholesome organic ingredients that you would actually want to put into your infant’s body.
My son was breast fed, but I couldn’t make enough to meet his requirements when I went back to work. I tried Infamil once, and he threw it up. Earth’s Best, he actually looked forward to drinking.
Do you know that formula manufacturers used to remove Omega 3′s from formula? Because it decreases shelf life. So be prepared to use the can within a month of opening it.
Also, if your infant is allergic to soy, this product is not soy-free (It has soy oil).

Overall a good organic formula. And if the baby is happy i am happy

I was surprised to find that my son tolerates this formula every bit as well as my BF babies….maybe even a little better. No reflux causing spit up. No gas. We tried the leading national brand while on vacation b/c an obscure grocery didn’t have any Earth’s Best. He was so gaseous and uncomfortable all weekend. We couldn’t wait to get back to Earth’s Best. And you can’t find a better deal than amazon.com direct shipping, to boot!!
All infant formulas have the same ratios of nutrients – that’s mandated by the government. However, the ingredients used to source those nutrients, that’s what’s important. Earth’s Best is organic, and made with wholesome organic ingredients that you would actually want to put into your infant’s body.
My son was breast fed, but I couldn’t make enough to meet his requirements when I went back to work. I tried Infamil once, and he threw it up. Earth’s Best, he actually looked forward to drinking.
Do you know that formula manufacturers used to remove Omega 3′s from formula? Because it decreases shelf life. So be prepared to use the can within a month of opening it.
Also, if your infant is allergic to soy, this product is not soy-free (It has soy oil).
This formula is the the best formula! I switched to Earth’s Best when the formula I was using had been recalled. Another reason is that my baby was spitting up a lot with the former formula and was extremely gassy but the pediatrician and I thought she was just a “spitty” and “gassy” baby. Her tummy could not tolerate other formulas either so I was very hesitant about trying Earth’s Best at first but I didn’t have many other options. It supposedly has real lactose and is less sweet than some of the other formulas and it has generally good reviews on web sites I researched. Since we switched to this formula a few months ago, my baby doesn’t spit up anymore and she is less gassy. The formula must be a lot easier to digest for sensitive babies. As the company’s name indicates, it really is the best!!! I order this formula repeatedly from Amazon b/c you can’t beat their price anywhere!
This formula is all we have used for our nine month old baby since she was born. It mixes well even with the water from our filtered tap. She has grown well and is healthy overall.
I love using organic milk, but this made our baby girl very gassy, fussy and she spit it up.
Since switching her to Enfamil Gentlease she has been fine. I wish they’d make a gentler organic milk formula too.
At 8 weeks we have gone back and tried this formula again b/c we had 2 big cans of this left in the cupboard. She has no problems now with this formula at all. So we will now use this from now on since organic milk is important to us.
Awesome for hiccups!
I absolutely love this gripe water. I started using it 2 years ago for my daughter. She didn’t have colic, but constantly got the hiccups. It works like a charm! The hiccups would disappear before the dosage was even complete. Now that I have another newborn, I made sure to stock up before his birth. Only thing I didn’t like was that it has to be refrigerated after opening. Sometimes my baby startles when I first start the dose because he’s not accustomed to cold liquids going down his throat. But since that’s my only complaint, I still gave it 5 stars.
It does the magic
My 2 months old son is colicky and that’s why I tried this product. He doesn’t like the taste of this gripe water and cries every time I feed him this. However, he stops being cranky and sleeps very well afterwards.
other helpful suggestions
So, before I begin my review of this product, here’s our background… our son who is currently 6 weeks has had to be sent to the hospital with gas pains so severe that the emergency room doctors were concerned that he might be trying to pass a kidney stone. Turns out he was allergic to soy, we had tried breast, standard formula and lactose intolerance formula. He had a negative reaction to all (including breast believe it or not, I went through tests also to determine what was in my milk even though I was on a mild diet…. cause was deemed later on to be for a substance need, our baby needed rice formula). So….. we tried just the rice formula with the children’s mylicon with the VentAire bottles…. somewhat of an improvement, but our child was still needing to go to the doctor weekly for checkups without much success, our pediatrician would even call us daily to see how he was doing. Constipation was questioned, but was never an issue. Our breakthrough occurred when we took our son to a specialist appointment and the lady asking us if our son had excess gas since she noticed that Mylicon was listed as one of his meds. I stated quickly yes and told her of our ordeal. I was told that she was the grandmother of 5 children and a mother of 3 and had tried EVERYTHING to cure their extreme colic. The remedy they found, Hyland’s colic tablets, Dr. Brown’s bottles, and rice formula. After the doctor appointment I went to the store to give these products a try……. and it was like an angel had spoken to us. Our child could breathe again and was longer tense in the body, as he was making progress against constantly trying to push. I know that I’m being candid but I am hoping that this will help other parents and children that have been or will be in our situation. We are on day 4 of the product switch and WOW, he’s a brand new baby! If these products can help a child who’s been hospitalized, hopefully these can help yours as well. Pedialyte also works as well to help calm the tummy. I’ve been using tylenol every 5 hours (excluding when he sleeps) for the first week and have been continuing to use the Mylicon to help with the surface gas. Burping has never been an issue, but his burps and toots have become louder and more productive, sometimes just shifting him in our arms can help him to expel gas! I’ll be making this post in numerous areas in hopes to help people.
Hyland’s colic tablets, Dr. Brown bottles, Enfamil AR Lipil, infant’s tylenol, gas drops is literally our formula to success.
it does not retail at $41 a can – even at its manufacturer,
However, it is misleading to list this product at a higher price and appear as if Amazon carries it at a reduced price. It is priced at [..] at Whole Foods, same size. It is also available for online order at Earth’s Best (the manufacturer) on their online store’s website at [..].
The only place you are saving is to order more than one by monthly subscription through Amazon.
Love it!
Our baby has been on this formula and breast milk for a few months now. She doesn’t have much gas from it. It does take some vigorous shaking to totally dissolve the formula. I let it settle a bit prior to giving it to her so that there are less bubbles in the formula which in turn is less air in her belly. I love the larger can, more bang for your buck and am hoping that Amazon puts this on Subscribe and Save soon. I purchased it for 86…it was in the Friday sale section one week. So look there a couple of weeks if you are not in a hurry to get.
4/14/11 It is cheaper to get get the smaller can on subscribe and save rather than this one!
25.75oz can with subscribe & save is 0.772/ounce (4 can pack) at 79.57/case (on subscribe and save)
31.75oz can is 0.858/ounce (4 can pack) at 109/case
The ONLY formula to use!
No one had told me about this product because I am breastfeeding, but when I realized I was going to supplement at night I wanted to find a formula that would work well with breastfeeding. I tried everything on the market and all of them had added sugars and made my baby boy extra gassy and some even gave him a rash. I started reading reviews and found out about Earth’s Best. It is amazing! It smells good, it lessened his gassiness and he absolutely loves the taste. I predominatey breastfeed, but the two bottles he gets a day are always Earth’s Best…you won’t be disapointed. (Too much sugar and carbs in the others).
Instant Relief
What a godsend this product has been. My mother used a similar product with me as a child, and I was very fortunate to find this when my son was born. He used to get these bad hiccuping spells, and this was the only thing that worked to calm him and stop the hiccups. It works almost instantly. It also helps with teething misery and gas. He loves the taste of it, so whenever he sees me break out the box, he doesn’t try to fight me off as he does when I try to give him cold medicine. I trust this product
Miracle Water!!!
Gripe Water has become the Miracle Water/Cure in our family. My children have all had reflux, and this has CURED their reflux. My youngest had reflux so severely that we had to start perscription medication, and after he suffered neurological side effects, we took him off the perscription meds. He was loosing weight so fast, that the pediatrican was considering admitting him to the hospital, when FINALLY I got some gripe water and POOF- no more reflux. We use it 3 times a day as needed and he’s fine. The Ped about had a heart attack, because she really thought we were going to loose him. She is so happy that she now has a box in every room of her practice and reccomends it FIRST now before the perscription meds!
I also use it for my older children when they have the flu or just a tummy ache and POOF! They feel better, calmer and ready for a good much needed nap.
A Blessing A Miracle!!!
My little girl had gas terribly bad, I ran out of milk and so had to put her on formula. We tried the powder first because honestly it was cheaper, not good for my girl it made the gas worse. We went to Dr. Brown bottles, a little rice cereal, rubbing her tummy, moving her legs up and down to try and relieve her gas none of this helped. As a last ditch effort at 4:00 in the morning I found gripe water. We have tried several brands but Wellements works the best. After she had it in her system for 24 hours she was like a new baby. Now we hardly ever have gas and it works wonders for her hiccups. Buy this buy this buy this!!!!
Best product for Gas Relief
I tried Mylicon and had no luck. Someone told me about Gripe water and I tried it….whenever my little girl had the hiccups or a tummy ache I gave her some of this in her bottle and she settled down!!! I LOVE THIS!
Works like a charm!
Our son has acid reflux and is on Zantac to help with the spitting up. However, at night, he still has all kinds of gas that wakes him up every 1-2 hours. We decided to try gripe water as the Mylicon drops did nothing to help him. We only give it to him at night because that is the only time he has this issue and since starting it, he sleeps 8-11 hours every night without waking up once AND wakes up in the morning HAPPY! This morning he cooed to himself for over 30 minutes before realizing he was hungry. I’d recommend this to anyone with a colicky baby.
SAVED MY LIFE
This product was instant relief for our little girl. She would cry and sometimes scream every single night and I would try everything to soothe her, baths, car rides, stove fan, EVERYTHING. I gave her this and in less than a minute she stopped fussing and didn’t fuss the rest of the night. Poor little thing had a tummy ache all along. Don’t listen when others say, “they just need to grow out of this stage”. This will really work unless your little one has acid reflux. If it doesn’t work, you should have the doctor check for acid reflux because I don’t know of any other reason that it wouldn’t! Also, the small amount of fructose is to help with taste so they will drink it down. It is not harmful, and our little girl took a nap soon after taking it. Another reviewer gave a bad review because of this, but would you rather have a miserable baby? Or give them a teensy bit of sugar?
The best solution to gassy and colicky babies!
This is the only remedy I trust for my colicky/gassy baby. I swear by it and highly recommend it to any mom. My baby seems to be particulary sensitive to gassiness. I breastfeed and never know what food is going to trigger colic or gas and gripe water always WORKS. It also helps him with his digestion and makes him a happy baby. It’s organic and made with natural ingredients so you know you can safely give it your little one.
