When you need it

Some parents keep gas relief drops on hand from birth through about 6 months, the stretch when fussy evenings and tummy bubbles tend to get the most attention. Always ask your pediatrician first, before you try them at all, and check back if fussiness continues.

What to look for

Read the label carefully and check that the product is intended for infants. Look for a clear dosing dropper or syringe so measuring is simple. Choose a formula without unnecessary dyes or flavors if your baby has sensitivities. Ask your pediatrician before using, and follow their advice on dose and frequency.
