I debate this exact same issue with my MIL when my baby was less than a month old. Only 1 month then i started gripe water cos my baby was on formula and constipated. Her stools were hard. I personally feel no need to give unless ur baby is really constipated.
If your baby doesn’t have colic pains, there’s no need to give gripe water for the sake of it:) Also, not all babies poop every day. It’s okay as long as baby’s feeding well and is active.. just ensure it doesn’t stretch past a week
Thank you:) I just hope he would listen.
