    Since Thursday I've been giving my 8 week old (1 corrected) gripe water. The bottle says not suitable for babies less than 1 month, so wondering if I should be going by his corrected age? He's not like premmie baby he weighs 5kg which is average for a 2 month old and in the 97 percentile for his adjusted age. But I kind of feel like maybe it's causing him more distress as he is passing a lot more wind but it's hurting him more. But have been told that if that's the case it's working.
