Hi,

I used the non-alcohol gripe water with some prescribed medication (that contained some alcohol) with dd for her colic (mixed it in the syringe). And it worked like a charm.
I agree with the common-sense stuff. And I think you are wise to just give 2ml instead of the recomended 5ml. I do believe that if used in moderation it's fine, it's when you give 5ml every two hours that it gets a bit out of hand, iykwim?? If you DO need to give 5ml every two hours (not that you do) your common-sense should tell you that there it's more than just plain colic and you will probably get him checked by a gp/pead so that the can prescribe something stronger
