" I've used it with all 3 of my boys. Sometimes I thought it helped, and other times I wasn't so sure. It's also sold under the name Little Tummys Gas Relief Drops. "

" Yes it worked well with my son. I just gave it to him before feedings. I was so thankful to my brother-in law for buying that for me when my son was born . He is 8 months now and teething..Good Luck!!! "

" Used it with my first 2 gas bags and I don't know if it worked or it worked as a placebo for me.... but I always gave it to them before nursing or bottle. "

" Mylicon drops (AKA simethicone) are effective when they actually reach the gas bubbles. Problem is they can dissolve along the gastrointestinal tract before reaching them and be ineffective.

If the gassiness is a real problem, please talk to your ped as Noah may be sensitive to something in the breastmilk or formula he may be eating.
