Gripe water for colic
Gripe water, available in most drug stores, can help ease colic or gas in newborns, says Mackay-Perry. While ingredients vary from brand to brand, it can include mint, ginger, dill, fennel and chamomile. There aren’t any clinical studies that have proven its effectiveness, but Mackay-Perry says a few drops can help baby burp, easing minor gas pains. You can also pop it in the fridge to help ease teething pain down the road.
