He is not really too fussy but has major gas...
Dam doctor.. I asked why and he just said not necessary especially if the baby is not that fussy
Re: Gas Drops.. My doc says not to use them
To be honest with you...we were using them at every feeding (put them in the bottle)....they didn't make a difference. She is still gassy...we just have to make sure we really get at least 1 good burp outta her.
Our pedi said the same thing...that they really aren't worth it. We have stopped using them and things are the same as when we did use them.

I use them at every bottle. DS had had terrible gas from day one and we use many things, this being the only "medication" type substance. I am not into giving unnecessary medications but it can't be good for DS to scream in pain. DS pediatrician is an expert on integrative and holistic medicine (and as part of this believes we should stay away from as many toxins as possible) and he feels they are fine to give, so I'm in.
My doctor said they are harmless, that they aren't absorbed into the bloodstream and are completely safe to use with every feeding.
Ditto.
Both my uncle (family practice MD) and my ped both say they don't do anything. My ped does recommend Gripe Water though after 1 month old.
