Advice for Gassy Baby?

My son who is almost 4 months went through this and it was his formula we changed it to gentle ease and he is doing much better

I am nursing, but I have been thinking about putting her on formula to even it out? I am not sure what to do

If you are nursing more than likely it is something you are eating.

Years ago, my pediatrician advised me to give my baby with colic some diluted 7-up or Sprite. The carbonation seemed to work.

you say you are nursing... are you eating gassy foods like broccoli, whole milk, cabbage... What goes into you goes into baby remember.

I'm nursing as well, and my 2-month-old baby has this problem. I have cut out milk of my diet and it has helped, but if I eat any kind of dairy product it gets worse. I also do the massage thing, but it was mostly back when I was drinking milk, as the baby no longer seems to have that degree of stomach issues.

I agree with Nancy, try really watching what you eat, stay away from beans, milk products and anything that could cause it. Don't change to formula just yet.

Make sure to burp her more often as she feeds, even if she screams because she's not getting fed. Nancy * also makes a good point- what YOU eat, SHE eats. Try cutting some things out of your diet, and making up a food journal to show what you are eating. It could be that she has a sensitivity to something you eat, which would cause her discomfort.

I hope the advice above is helpful~

I would have to agree it's something in your regular diet if it's a continuous problem. I noticed when I have caffeine it really affects my 6 week old, but luckily it's easy to cut that out.

I hope you get it figured out quickly!

I have the answer!

Do what I call leg exercises.. Lay your baby flat and lift the legs and rotate above tum like baby is riding a bike... and then gently rub babys belly around belly button not just on button but all around in a circular motion.. then repeat the leg exercises.. Baby should let out some gas and possibly more. I had to do it to my babies and never gave them meds for it.. My SIL and Neice has seen it works as well! For some reason babies I see have a hard time letting out gas now.. so these exercises help them.. Worked for all of us..

You can also set baby but in your hands.. their back against your belly area.. pull their knees up toward belly.. and rock them or bpounce them like that a little..

I also held Kairi like a football.. face down toward ground head resting on my arm and would use other hand to gently rub her belly.. she let out alot like this too! Hope these remedies work for you. Let me know.. I hope you ty them! They work!

I have no advice on this one. My youngest one was a colicky baby until he turned 4 months old. He was fussy, gassy and it was horrible. I hardly got any sleep at all. We also had to put him on a special formula called Nutramigen and it was $28 for a small can. I'm so glad those days are over.

Sometimes laying them on there back and bending there knees kind of up to there head will help some of the gas to get out of there.
