Peaceful sleep for baby!
SCM12-13
Only when his delicate little digestive system is in perfect order can baby enjoy sleep right through the night. A doso of Woodward's Gripe Water after the last meal removes the cause of restless nights by checking fermentation and ensuring complete digestion of milk and other foods.
Woodward's contains no oplates, and is always quite safe to give.
