Help for gassy newborn

josie402

DD is 4 weeks old and miserable with gas right now.  I've tried mylicon and everything I can think of but nothing seems to help.  I can't think of anything I've eaten that would cause so much trouble for her.  Any suggestions to help her feel better?  Thanks!

DS got Mylicon with every feeding for months. They can have it up to 12 times a day.

I also had to cut onions, broccoli, cabbage, chocolate, caffeine, and a few other things from my diet.

Bicycle her legs to get the gas out.

P had this problem too. We just kept him upright a lot after he ate, made sure he burped everytime, I avoided any gassy foods (including garlic) and gave him Mylicon drops all the time. Not sure if there is anything else you can do. Eventually, as he got a few weeks older, the gassiness got a lot better.

The most likely explanation is dairy in your diet.
