When my baby was 3 months old, the doctor had me put her on pet milk and karo syrup because formula constipated her. It was 13 oz. pet milk, 17 oz. water and 2 - 3 tablespoons of lite karo syrup. It made 5 bottles, 6 oz each.
For an infant who is constipated, you can feed him 1 teaspoon of corn syrup in 4 ounces of cooled, boiled water. Do not add corn syrup to formula.

Baby formula is a protein, so do not wash it in hot water. Start by pre-soaking the clothing in cold water. Then wash it on a cool water cycle.
In the 1950's, formulas like Similac and Enfamil were not yet widely available. Mothers would actually use a written formula to mix up the ingredients in the formula by hand. They would get a large bowl and combine Karo Syrup (corn syrup), evaporated milk, water, and possibly one or two other ingredients. This was the "formula" that most babies of the 1950's and even much of the 1960's were fed.

It should give directions on the bottle. But my question is why baby needs gripe water? Is baby breastfed or formula fed? Have you called the baby's Dr.?
The formula has all the nutrients and liquid necessary for the baby bird.
solution or mixture
"solution" or "mixture"
no, absolutely not. only bottled water should be used.
A little water to drink is never a bad idea. Make sure the baby is getting enough formula to meet his/her needs and suppliment with a little water. Many children don't do well with tap water, so you may want to try bottled water at first to see what kind of reaction he/she has. You should NOT give a newborn baby water to drink. Pediatricians recommend that you not give a baby water until at least the age of 6 months when you start them on a sippy cup. A baby's stomach is only big enough to hold a very small amount of liquid, so you don't want to give him/her anything that doesn't have any nutritional value. Babies keep hydrated through breastmilk or formula so there is no need to give a baby water. If the weather is very hot the baby may need a little boiled water (NEVER tap water) if it is formula fed. Don't make the formula more watery, make the formula proeprly and then offer (not force) a little water. If it is breast fed it will alter its feeding pattern to get more of the hindmilk which is more watery anyway.
