Do you give your little one gripe water? Is it necessary? My in-laws have been pressuring me to give and insisting all kids in the past grew up with it.

I agreed with Jamie, only offer gripe water if the baby is discomfort. You can do baby massage twice a day, especially after bath to help to relief baby's tummy discomfort and the skin-to-skin touch massage is good for bonding between you and the baby. Example of massage can be found on youtube, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en-GB&v=A1kQ-7gREcM&gl=SG
