Ease your little one's discomfort with Woodwards Gripe Water 150ml, a trusted solution for soothing trapped wind in babies. This gentle, alcohol and sugar-free formula offers rapid relief for colic and griping pain, helping your baby feel more settled and comfortable.

Description

Woodwards Gripe Water is a time-honoured remedy specifically formulated to provide rapid and gentle relief from common infant discomforts like trapped wind, griping pain, and infant colic. Designed for babies from 1 month to 12 months old, this oral solution is a staple for many parents seeking to soothe their little ones.

How Woodwards Gripe Water Works

Infant wind and griping pain often occur when air bubbles become trapped in your baby's stomach. This can lead to the stomach producing unnecessary acids, causing irritation, and muscles tensing, resulting in cramps and spasms. Woodwards Gripe Water 150ml contains two key active ingredients to address these issues:

  • Terpeneless Dill Seed Oil: This natural ingredient helps to gently relax stomach muscles, assisting in the breakdown of trapped air bubbles and easing discomfort.
  • Sodium Bicarbonate: Acts as an antacid, neutralising excess stomach acids that can contribute to irritation and pain.

Together, these ingredients work to relieve symptoms swiftly, often leading to a satisfying burp and a more comfortable baby. It's a trusted and traditional remedy that has been helping parents for over 150 years.
