Do baby gas drops actually work"
Having a fussy baby may be par for the course as a parent, but it?s still not a lot of fun. When naps and overnight sleep get disrupted, nobody?s happy (particularly not your inconsolable child).
Of course, both excessive crying and gas are a normal part of being a baby, and baby burps can even be cute! But when it reaches a certain point, parents may feel the urge to turn to a remedy that goes beyond bicycle kicks and tummy rubs.
Baby gas drops (such as the Ovol brand) are one popular option. Much like gripe water, baby gas drops are often sought as a remedy for both colic and gassiness (in part because it can be tough to tell one from the other), but they are very different products.
Baby gas drops vs gripe water
Unlike gripe water, which is typically a mix of herbs and baking soda, gas drops typically include the drug simethicone, which has been around since 1952 and breaks down small gas bubbles into larger ones that can be passed more easily. Health Canada designates it as an ?antiflatulent? (which makes it sound promising as a gas remedy). Baby gas drops have their backers, and a perusal of parenting chat rooms will find no shortage of those who believe that gas drops are effective, either because the simethicone (under the brand name Ovol) works or because babies like the taste.
