Things are dire over here. We have a pedi appt tomorrow but we are dealing with serious gas. Like a college fraternity has a taco eating contest and then does keg stands.
I know all baby’s have gas but this is different. It’s constant, it wakes her from naps, night sleep etc. Theres a cloud of stink surrounding her at all times.
Are you also dealing with gas around the clock?
How many times a day does it disrupt?
Are you doing anything to combat? Is it working?

Gas was a major issue here until like 5-6 weeks and I really haven't thought about it since. We tried gas drops but I don't think they really work. We tried bicycles and that worked sometimes. I also like to hang h
Baby sideways over my knees, I find that helps a bit - more with burps but it's worth a shot.

My Dr gave us Gerber soothe probiotics drops. We started yesterday but I'm already noticing less gas and easier burps! I also do baby in tummy time a lot (now that we have confirmed her collar bone is healing very nicely).

Faith has lots of stinky farts, but it doesn't seem to bother her or wake her up...

Thanks everyone
My boys had gas but it didn’t steer their day. Her’s is like a driving force. It’s gotten much worse since about 3 weeks old but my diet hasn’t changed. 🤔

His gas was pretty bad, so I started reducing the amount of dairy I eat, and switched to a different formula that we supplement with. Also use Evivo probiotics that help a ton. He's definitely more comfortable now.

He's definitely more comfortable now. Did you talk about the probiotics with your doc or just choose to do it yourself? I was thinking of trying some too but we don't go back to ped for a few more weeks. I could text him but try to save that for more urgent matters! |

A general question for everyone- do you find probiotics or gas drops more effective for gas?

I was thinking of trying some too but we don't go back to ped for a few more weeks. I could text him but try to save that for more urgent matters! I asked my midwife/LC about probiotics for him because I had a lot of abx for GBS while at the hospital. I tried Colic Calm to see if that would help with the gas and it didn't. He wasn't terribly irritable, but I could tell he was uncomfortable at times and they smelled awful. It took about four or five days to see a difference. |

We’ve been using Biogia Probiotcs. Didn’t talk to Dr before using them. Not sure if it was helping bc we still have a big gas issue, obviously.
Also have the Mylicon drops, haven’t noticed a change.
Appt update: Dr prescribed reflux meds for her constant swallowing and gulping sounds. She was doing it in the appt which was nice so the Dr saw first hand. 🤞 we see improvement. Meds helped my oldest tremendously once they started to work.
As for the gas: she didn’t want me to cut out dairy just yet bc no green poops/blood poops. Waiting 2 weeks.
She mentioned Gerber Soothe probiotics so I immediately ordered from amazon.
Some babies just have extra GI discomfort. 😔

I got some probiotics today for the same issue. He seems so uncomfortable after eating and the two hour wake ups at night are killing me.

I got some probiotics today for the same issue. He seems so uncomfortable after eating and the two hour wake ups at night are killing me. [ We are also dealing with the extended wake ups at night. I finally get her down and then she lets it rip like 15 minutes later and is up again. Our wake ups are 1 hour - 2+ and sometimes she never really settles back to sleep for the day. I’m hoping reflux meds help some and I don’t know what else. I just read this. Nothing ground breaking. kellymom.com/parenting/parenting-faq/gassybaby/ |
