10 week old with chronic gas....?


We have tried all the over the counter drugs (mylicon etc). He only drinks breastmilk...he gets burped many times...mother is watching her diet....and yet he still has painful gas over and over....HELP!!!!

Answers:
there are some exercises you can do for newborns that claim to help babies with gas,.....

Gently fold the baby's knees up to the tummy (as far as is comfortable), hold for 15 to 30 seconds and release. Stroke legs gently.

Gently hold both of the baby's feet and move the legs one at a time, bending at the knees as if riding a bicycle for 30 seconds. Stroke the legs gently.

Bend the baby's legs at the knees, cross the legs, and rock side to side. Stroke the legs gently.

Other Answers:
My three month is old pretty gassy also. We lay him, tummy down, over a thigh for a few minutes at a time. The pressure on his stomach helps sometimes.

I have a gassy baby too. I cut dairy out of my diet, and that has helped a lot, but he is still gassy. There are so many things that can be the culprit in your diet, it can be frustrating to try and figure out, but try keeping a food journal and compare that to his symptoms. Have you tried Gripe Water? Its all natural. I typed in Gripe Water into yahoo search and found sites that sell it. It worked for my baby that is 17 months now. Wish I knew about it with my first daughter. Good Luck. :)
