Gripe Water

Our new best friend ... Woodward's Gripe Water. Important ingredients include dill seed oil as a carminative and sodium bicarb as an antacid. It's also alcohol- and sugar-free (unlike its predecessor). Best of all - it works immediately to stop colicky crying and helps him burp like a trooper (apologies to the troopers out there!)
There's something intriguing about old-fashioned remedies with such basic names that makes me think they'll work; this didn't disappoint! Hurray!
