The label on Woodward’s Gripe Water mentions that it can be given to newborns at a dose of 2.5 mL three times daily, suggesting it is gentle and intended for infants. However, most paediatricians today do not recommend giving gripe water to babies under 6 months, as it is not medically necessary. They may sometimes cause stomach irritation or allergic reactions. While the product label allows use in newborns, it’s safest to consult your paediatrician before giving it to your 1-month-old baby. Your doctor can confirm if it’s suitable for your baby’s condition or suggest safer, evidence-based alternatives for colic or gas relief.
