I just had a baby one month ago today and my pediatric recommend me gerber soothe drops I have notice less crying and fussiness. Just wondering are these drops suppose to regulate my baby bowel movements? I dont see him regular. And another thing these drops are a bit pricey for a small bottle!
the best my child would cry Non-Stop after I gave him this he was all better
It worked as far as helping my baby to burp better after eating, but never seemed to help him get rid of all of his gas. I'm sure this works well for some babies and not for others. At least he was able to burp as opposed to before having the drops he was hardly able to burp. In the end we had to switch his formula for him to completely be better.
I bought these drops a week ago after the pediatrician recommend them. My daughter has had gas and digestive issues since she was born. Being breast fed I tried changing my diet and nothing worked. Gas drops offered slight short term relief. After just a week with the Soothe drops she's starting to cry less through the day and bowel movements are noticeably easier for her. They're a bit pricey for only a 25 day supply but I'm just so happy to find something that helps!
We used this product with our newborn and experienced great results! He trick to getting drops out quicker is to look inside the plastic dropper insert, and you'll notice the drops come out of the middle and there is a small hole on the outer part of the insert. The hole allows excess product to drop back into the bottle and air into the bottle so drops can flow more easily. If you make sure this hole is on top, the drips flow pretty fast.
My son had, what seemed to be, terrible pain while passing gas. He also had bms every 2 or 3 days. Since using this product, he goes poo daily and the gas seems to be easier to manage. He is a happy little guy. The only problem is the container it comes in. It takes 2 to 5 minutes to coax a drop out. I shake and Shake, turn 45 degrees, nothing. Repeat over and over. This bottle design really is awful. However, the product inside is awesome! Change the bottle, please!
Our baby girl has been quite colicky. Now at 11 weeks, this is one of the only products we tried (and we tried everything!!) that does seem to help her tummy. It works best when given at the same time each day. My major complaint is that it advertises a 25 day supply and we are on our 3rd bottle where the max. number of days achieved was 20 days. It's a very expensive so it would be nice if the sell matched the result. I agree the bottle is difficult. It takes up to a minute holding the bottle at 45 degrees to get a drop. The only benefit to slow is it's impossible to over drop.
My son spit up a lot often, was colic, and has reflux. My doctor recommended this probiotic. It seems to have helped but the bottle is terrible. Even following the directions the drops don't come out right if at all. I've been through 2 bottles thinking maybe one I purchased had a flaw buts it's all of them. I'd rather have a dropper like other meds. Plus the price is steep especially for something that doesn't dispense right. I'd like to see a better design and bigger supply bottle for the price. I'm looking into other options to try currently.
My 7 wk old has gas and seems to strain often. I was on antibiotics during labor and our lactation consultant recommended these drops due to both of the above listed factors. We've been using it for the past 5 days and so far, there may be some improvement at nighttime but not during the day yet (instructions say it could take a week or more) BUT we may give up sooner. The reason is that the bottle design is poor- it's very difficult to get the drops out, following directions exactly- holding bottle at a 45 degree angle. The drops, if and when they come out, come out rapidly and I have to be very careful to not drop in more than 5 drops. I opened the cap to look inside and half the product is gone- after 5 uses?! I think a small eye dropper would be much easier- after all these drops are for colicky babies- patience is limited at feeding time.
I just don't understand what prompted Gerber to develop this bottle design. Following the instructions to tilt the bottle 45 degrees, the drops come out unpredictably at best if at all. Most of the time the drops don't even come out at all. So frustrating for what otherwise seems like a good product. The thing costs $30. Spend a few more bucks and design a bottle that actually dispenses. An eye dropper bottle top would work great.
