Yes you can give gripe water. my gal also drools a lot. I give her using a spoon. Some mummies add to milk (EBM or FM).

sorry but mayb u wanna tell us how u know your baby has got alot of air in her tummy? she farts alot or she throws up milk after feed? if it's the latter then it mayb colic. if it's just farting alot then i think it's pretty normal. my son farted alot too when he was younger and what i did is to give him a massage + tummy every monrning n night which he will fart alot alot aftre that. i do not believe in giving gripe water if there is no precise need for it. my son was breastfed since birth and is still bfding.. i will still burp him after feed till he turned 4 months where he will just burp on his own. i avioded food that makes him gassy as well in the initial stage like chilli and cabbage. for drooling it mayb teething?

she farts a lot n seems v uncomfortable.. i avoided all possible food, even dairy n milk... and she keeps waking up at night, then sometimes after struggling, i hear her fart, after wh she will scream n cry... i try tummy massage, bt no farts after that? tummy feels like drum though...
