Gas and Newborns

 Georgia seems to grunt alot and has some gas. I am BF so I did not know if it was something I ate.How did your child act when they had gas issues and what helped.

Thanks

Ugh, Emi is super gassy too. Mylicon does nothing. I just started the dairy elimination diet, so hopefully that will help.

Mylicon worked for both DS and DD. They both would scream like crazy and bring their knees to their chest. Is your DD crying at all? Or is it just the grunting?

I have been told that anything that gives you gas will give DC gas. Broccoli, cabbage, mexican (Ha!).

The mylicon drops say to give them to DC after the feeding. I started doing it right before the feeding and they stopped getting gas.

If it's a continual thing, it could be dairy. A lot of newborns have a dairy sensitivity. I cut it out and it made such a difference in DD. Check out kellymom.com for more info!

There was a direct correlation between my DDs newborn gas and whether or not I ate onions.  It was nuts but once we figured it out and I eliminated them from my diet, the gas was gone.
