hi, i was away for a while, just came back to lactnet. i really missed it. glad to be back. it is interesting to me reading about the gripe water. i used to work for visiting nurse service of New York in a maternal and childheatlh program. many of the moms i saw were from the islands. the original gripe water had 96% alcohol. put those babies right to sleep, cured most everything. in past 5 years or so, i think they now make it with and without the alcohol.
