Does anyone have experience w/Mylicon drops?

Question

I am a mom of 4 children. I have a 10 yr old boy, 9 yr old girl, 6 yr old boy and a 8 week old boy and still learning new things daily. My 8 week old was crying and crying and I thought for the second time I'd be dealing w/colic but someone had mentioned giving him Mylicon drops. I tried the off brand and they didn't work but I tried the Mylicon drops and he hasn't had another episode. Does anyone have any imput on this? I was hoping I'm not jumping the gun thinking the mylicon drops solved this problem. Has anyone had a similiar experience?

Answer 1

Mylicon works good! It has also helped my son with his gas.  I would never use the off brand..but that is just me. I am weird about things like that. Nothing wrong with using Mylicon. It works. Even asking the nurse about it and she said yep :) I know people who swear by it !

Answer 2

I never tried the off-brand drops, but I tried the Mylicon drops and they seemed to work most of the time.

Answer 3

I also tried the off-brand and it definitely did not work.

The mylicon, on the other hand, did seem to work most of the time.  My pediatrician said that she did not think they really worked, but some people swear by it.  It certainly doesn't hurt to use it if you think it may help!

Answer 4

mylicon drops are great, the equate brand has the same ingredients as the brand name, but it takes a few doses for them to work. they are for prolonged use rather then an "as needed" medicine.. I used both for my kids and they were a lifesaver :0)

Answer 5

this is the best product for gas

Answer 6

Yes, i used them for my son when he was a month old. and they worked wonderfuly and are safe enough to use every feeding. The whole issue was that i discovered later was that the formula he was on was making him gassy (he was on enfamil lipil). So i switched him to similac advanced, and never had to use the mylicon drops again.  

Answer 7

I used them for my son who had digestions problems and it worked great!  

Answer 8

i love them. they were a lifesaver. and i used the CVS brand mylicon. nothing wrong with offbrand.
