Woodward’s Gripe Water is a trusted remedy with over a century of history in providing relief to infants. This gentle formula contains natural ingredients specifically designed to alleviate common digestive discomforts in babies, offering a soothing solution for both infants and parents.

Uses

Woodward’s Gripe Water is primarily used to provide relief from:

• Wind pains and colic

• Discomforts associated with teething

Benefits

How It Works

Woodward’s Gripe Water’s effectiveness stems from two main active ingredients:

1. Dill Seed Oil: Works by warming and relaxing the baby’s stomach, helping to break down trapped air bubbles that cause discomfort.
2. Sodium Bicarbonate: Acts to neutralize excess acid in the baby’s stomach, providing relief from acid-related discomfort.

The combination of these ingredients, along with ginger tincture, works synergistically to calm digestive distress in infants.

Dosage

These doses may be given during or after each feed, up to 6 times in 24 hours. If symptoms persist, consult your pediatrician.

Duration of Action

The effects of Woodward’s Gripe Water are typically rapid, with relief often observed within minutes of administration. For preventive use, daily administration as recommended is advised.

Side Effects

Woodward’s Gripe Water is generally well-tolerated by infants. However, as with any product, some babies may experience:

• Allergic reactions (rare)
• Mild digestive upset

If you notice any adverse reactions in your baby, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
