My poor lil guy seems like he's in s much pain with his gas.  I've fed him twice since starting Mylicon today, how quickly should we see results?

    I got some mylicon yesterday for my lo and its seemed to work real fast!!!!!

  • kkellyann7750 Posted 07-22-09

    I give mine Mylicon at every feeding and she still has gas that is so painful she screams bloody murder.  My doctor just says, "All babies cry."  Ugh.

    I hope it works fast for you.

    Mylicon never seemed to work for our odd, so this time we're trying Gripe Water.  It seems to work pretty well actually and within 10-15 minutes or so.

    For us it sometimes works quick (a few min) and sometimes doesn't really help. Good luck

    Thanks ladies.  I was just trying to change my diet but this morning in desperation I went to Kmart.  I asked for gripe water but they had never heard of it and I got the Mylicon.  If it doesn't kick in by this evening I'll try going to walgreens and see if they have the gripe water. 

  • 11stbabyjune Posted 07-22-09

    We didn't seem much improvement with either, maybe we didn't give them enough of a chance.  I may try again.

  • bbls310 Posted 07-24-09

    Whole Foods sells something callde Cyntinol.  It is homeopathic and wonderful.  Mylicon, Gripe and Hyland's Colic Tablets didn't work for our LO, but this Cyntinol is fantastic!  Totally safe - no side effects - all natural - no risk of overdose.  It works within 5 minutes.

  • ~GJColoradoCutie~ Posted 07-24-09I user gripe water, which I got at target, and mylicon and they both usually work pretty quickly. I don't give him them both at the same time but I switch between them depending on weather he has hiccups or gas. They also make baby gas x.

  • member avatarashnbby62909 Posted 07-24-09
