Shake well. Remove cap and the seal. Insert the adapter plug, smooth side up, by pushing downward and twisting until a tight seal is made. Top of plug should be flush with neck and not removable. Fully depress syringe plunger and insert into adapter. Invert bottle and pull syringe to correct volume. Infant should be upright. Do not administer to a crying infant. Administer slowly, a few drops at a time, allowing infant to swallow each time. Dispense slowly toward side of mouth/inner cheek. Use syringe provided, or a dropper, or place measured amount in slow-flow nipple bottle. Do not mix with formula or breast milk. Give separately from feedings. Do not administer to infants younger than 2 weeks or less than 7 pounds.

May be taken directly by dropper or in empty bottle up to 6 times in 24-hour period. We recommend discarding 6 weeks after opening.

Recommended serving:
2 weeks to 6 weeks of age 1 ml p to 15 times a day
6 weeks to 10 weeks of age 2 ml up to 15 times a day

We have recently changed the suggested use directions of our products to reduce the amount given per serving for younger infants but to increase the possible frequency of administration.

The total maximum amount (volume) consumed per day would remain the same with the new instructions.
We have made this change to help some parents who found that giving the entire suggested amount per
Serving to their infant in one sitting was challenging.

If you and your child have found that the previous use instructions work well for you, then by all means you can feel safe in continuing to follow those.

Gripe water is a time-tested formula that has been used for more than 100 years throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, India and the Caribbean to relieve discomfort from colic, gas and hiccups. Our gentle liquid formula contains fennel seed, ginger root and sodium bicarbonate, which are historically known to ease occasional discomfort caused by stomach gas and other colic symptoms in infants.*

All of our Gripe Water ingredients are carefully selected, appear on the FDA’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list, and are held to our exacting quality assurance requirements. Our manufacturers follow strict standards, guidelines and procedures for quality and safety, and each product must pass additional analytical and microbiological tests before we offer it to you. Our Gripe Water is also, of course, protected by a safety seal, and is NSF certified for purity.

No! Our Gripe Water contains natural preservatives and doesn’t need to be refrigerated, unlike some other formulas out there. Enjoy one less thing to keep in mind as you care for your new baby (especially when gas or colic comes to town).

You can administer Gripe Water orally with a dropper, or with an empty bottle after feedings. (And you can even sip some yourself! Gripe Water helps with occasional gas and stomach upset in adults, too.*)

Recommended servings:
For babies 2-6 weeks old: 1 mL up to 15 times a day
For babies 6-10 weeks old: 2 mL up to 15 times a day
For babies 10 weeks – 6 months old: 5 mL up to 6 times a day

Glycerol, a sugar alcohol, gives our Gripe Water its sweet taste without adding sugar. An FDA-approved food additive, glycerol is a building block of triglycerides (AKA fats), and so is already present in all diets. It’s metabolized with roughly the same calories per gram as sugar, with about half the sweetness. No other sweetener is added – your baby is sweet enough!
