    Red face Is Gripe Water Good or EVIL???

    I have been using Hartleys gripe water for my 3.5 month old son for the past 6 weeks and I have only just realised that it contains ethanol which I am told is alcohol. I have heard that it has been canned in the US cause of the alcohol content. Is anyone else using this? Should I discontinue??? It really works for my son. You are meant to use 5mls each time, but I only ever give him 2mls as that seems to work for him fine....I feel bad when I give it to him cause I dont want to be giving him something that isn't good for him... what are your thoughts?
