Woodwards Gripe Water 150ml
What is Woodwards Gripe Water?
Woodward’s Gripe Water is a remedy for little ones who have colic and other gastrointestinal ailments and discomforts. It is a herbal supplement and is safe for babies over 1 month old. However, it isn't suitable for children over 1 year old. This is a mild treatment for an infant's digestive system and will help make infants more comfortable.
What is colic?
Colic is caused by muscle spasms and excess acid created when air bubbles form in a baby's tummy. When the air bubbles get trapped in a baby's stomach, the stomach thinks it is full of food, so acids are produced which would normally break down the food particles. These acids are not needed and can cause irritation. At the same time, because the stomach is full of air bubbles its muscles are unable to relax causing cramps and spasms.
What are the active ingredients in Woodward's Gripe Water and how do they work?
The active ingredients in Woodward's Gripe Water are oil of Dill herb and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate. These bring rapid relief from wind and gripe.
Dill Oil: Works by warming and relaxing the tummy, which breaks down trapped air bubbles.
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate: Works to neutralise the acid in the baby's tummy. The results of this are usually a resounding burp.
