These drops have changed everything for my baby girl. She was waking up screaming with gas pains every single night. She was getting constipafed multiple times a week, and she was straining to go poop. She was just having so many problems, and it was all related to her little belly.
I started using the drops, and I swear within 24hours, she was no longer having issues. We’ve been almost cured for about a month now, and her bowel movements are regular, and she’s no longer straining to go. Her gas issues have almost completely diminished. She never wakes up crying because of gas, and every once in a while, when she does have a little, she gets it out so easily, and we don’t have to beat on her back trying to get a burp.
I think this should be on everyone’s list of baby “must haves”. Probiotics are great for everyone!
20 months ago I was at my wits end with my 2nd child. She just screamed alll the time and had all night colic. We tried gripe water and other colic drops to no avail. The doctor then recommended this product to help. I had sticker shock because for such a tiny bottle it costs $30. Got it anyways to try and omg what a difference!!! Within 3-4 days the screaming stopped, gas and bowel movements passed with ease and we were getting sleep!! I was a believer and the price was worth it!! Just the other day my newborn (3rd child) had us up all night crying and colicky. I made a middle of the night run to get this and yet again it worked wonders!!! Firm believer in this and recommend it to anyone who has a colicky baby. I only wish I had it with my first because her colic was 3 months of horror.
*Edited & changed to 4 stars on 10/12. From the manufacturer Gerber: "Gerber Soothe Colic Drops contain a desiccant strip that helps prolong the shelf life of the drops. The strip floats free in the bottle"
So it is safe to use and of no concern. Hope that helps anyone else who may have been curious or worried about the strip if they noticed it floating in their bottles. I never noticed it in the older .17 oz bottles, but perhaps they were too small to see in that size. Regardless I will now use the drops I just bought without anymore concern. Because they do and have always worked great for colic and as an immune booster for by baby (now toddler). Thank you Amazon & Gerber :)
We bought this for our first baby who was ridiculously colicky. He would magically start crying at 8PM and cry all the way through the morning. Always dry, fed, and warm. We tried all colic products, including Gripe Water, Magic Merlin sleep suit, etc. This definitely helped to reduce the colic significantly. We really realized this when we went to Hawaii and forgot his drops. After a couple nights, he went right back to his original screaming through the night. We scrambled that night all around and found it at a local Walgreens. After a couple of nights of getting our baby back on the drops, he was back to normal and only waking up a couple times a night.
When we had our second child, we immediately put him on these drops. We haven't stopped since he was a few days old and he has been sleeping through the night with a couple of hungry wake-ups.
I was super skeptical at first but am totally sold on this product and recommend it to anyone with newborns that are having sleep issues!
I can't say enough good stuff about this. my newborn had horrible gas, colic, tummy issues crying every night around the same time!! ever since she's been getting 5 drops a day shes been a completely different baby!!! This has been a lifesaver!!! one bottle last about 5 weeks we are on our second and will continue to buy more . Give it a week to make full difference.

Im pretty sure these decreased night time fussiness, but we are also getting past week 8 so it may just be fading out on its own. She still has a witching hour from 7-8 now, but a week ago we had a fussy crying little one every night from 7 or 8 to 1am... been using these drops for 4 days now.
Our baby was fussy- much more so than our other children had been. I am not sure if I would go so far as to say she was colicky, but she was inconsolable at least once a day for at least an hour and her stools were not quite right. She is nursing so they should have been a mustard yellow, but they were green. She was gaining weight, but much too slowly even thought she was eating every 30-90 minutes. I tried an elimination diet in case it was something I was eating but nothing helped. Our ped thought we might need to supplement her diet with formula so she would gain weight faster but I wanted to try this first. It took about 3 days but she started fussing less, her stool changed to a more normal color, and she started putting on weight which was a relief for all of us. I am so happy we gave supplement a chance.
This is a must have for all new babies. Using these drops daily will really help your baby develop healthy gut bacteria, which they don’t have when they are born. Mothers around the world use pro-biotics to help prevent colic. These will not eliminate colic, so you also may want to also get some baby colic tea for those rough days. There is also the added benefit of making your baby’s bowel movements more regular.
These drops are a definite game changer if your baby has colic and or is constipated and or has gas. Our baby was having the hardest time going potty and was waking up screaming with gas pains every single night. Took the baby to the doctor and they said that her insides were gas, poop, gas, poop, etc. I can't imagine the discomfort.
We started using the drops because nothing else seemed to be working. Wish we would've started using these from the very beginning. Now our baby is having regular bowel movements and is no longer screaming in pain. The gas issues have almost completely diminished and now is easy to get a burp or bowel movement out.
Definitely recommend this product! Purchase this product just to have for your baby when something like this happens. You'll be grateful you did!
This is awesome an awesome product. By day three there was a noticeable difference in my child’s demeanor. She was able to pass gas with less pain and has been napping better during the day as well as sleeping better at night! Totally worth it. A lot of the reviews said that the dropper didn’t work but this is the best kind of drop for my breastfed baby! The key is to tilt the bottle at a 45 degree angle with the vent upward (this information is in the insert). I latch baby on after slowly dropping one drop, let her suck, unlatch and repeat this until she had 5 drops! So much easier than using a medicine dropper because she just sucks it as she’s eating! Highly recommend these drops!
