Comment:
6 week old grandson was going through "cluster feedings" and hungry all the time. No throw up, lots of burps and exploding gas bowel movements. Mylicon helped very much. Question: he seems more sleepy now, is this a side effect?

Comment:
My breastfed son was getting terrible gas from swallowing excess air due to my overactive let down. At first I only gave the drops when he seemed fussy, and was't seeing results. my pediatrician then explained it was better to use the drops on a schedule, every 4-5 hours. It changed his little life and I suggest this to all new mommas. Wish I would've known about this with my other 3 kids!

I was giving Mylicon drops to my daughter for gas. It did absolutely nothing for her. When I mentioned something to my pediatrician, the pediatrician said that recent studies have shown Mylicon is about as effective as water for the treatment of gas and she recommended I stop wasting my money. I stopped buying it and have started belly massage when my daughter gets gas and it is much more effectiv
