If there is no any indication for soothing effect of Gripe water, it is better not to give it to your baby. These might contain herbal products but the constituents/ingredients of gripe water is different with different companies. Hence, look for the preparations, and consult your pediatrician before self-medicating your baby. About advantages and disadvantages, it all comes down to its constituents, which depends on the quantity of ingredients. Too much of Sugar would help in cavity formations(once the tooth has erupted), and too much of Sodium Bicarb might worsen the colic(increasing pH of the stomach, causing a shift towards alkalinity),which is why gripe water is used over-the-counter. Sometimes, these ingredients might even cause anaphylactic reactions (a severe and deadly allergic reaction,for common people to understand) which should be closely monitored as soon as baby is fed with these ingredients. BEST ADVICE: CONSULT and AVOID SELF MEDICATIONS IF YOU'RE THINKING FOR IT !!
