Okay, so let's talk about these Mylicon gas drops that EVERY new parent seems to rave about. I was skeptical at first but desperate when my little one turned into a tiny gas-filled balloon at 3am.

The good: It actually works! Like magic juice for baby tummies. My pediatrician recommended it and I see why - within 15 minutes of giving the drops, those painful gas bubbles seem to dissolve. The syringe dispenser makes dosing super easy (pro tip: aim for the inside cheek).

The meh: It didn't work instantly every single time. One night when baby was extra gassy, we needed a second dose after an hour. Also, while most babies don't mind the taste (mine makes this funny 'ooh' face), some reviews say their kids hated it.

Final verdict? Definitely worth having in your diaper bag arsenal. Not a miracle cure-all, but when it works - oh thank goodness it works! Saved many sleepless nights in our house.
