Baby Farts

OMG I feel like I have the gassiest child around! His farts seriously rival MH's and that is saying something. I'm wondering if I should be giving him gripe water though - I can't tell if the gas is hurting him or not. He sometimes gets super screechy and strains a bit but that's usually just for a minute or two. And the farts seem to mostly come out with no problem. What do you think? I may call his pedi and ask. I would hate to not be doing something that might help him out.

Re: Baby Farts
My DD also farts like a grown man! DH and I just laugh it off. She's never cranky or seems uncomfortable, so we chalk it up to being a gassy baby. If you're concerned, then a call to the pedi won't hurt anything, just soothe your worries/thoughts.
my ped said that an occasional grunt due to gas is normal as long as they dont seem like they are in pain!
My LO pretty much farts all day and all night.
If he is kinda gassy I sometimes run with his legs and it helps him get those farts out!
I know what you're saying about rivaling YH... DH now has someone to pass off his gas on. DS farts loud and often!
I'm sure he's fine, though. He only seems uncomfortable and fussy when he doesn't fart. He just has the GI tract of a champion
If he's grunting for a long while, gripe water might help get them out more easily, but seriously, that stuff can make the farts even worse! Little machine gun butts...
Good news is most babies get better at getting their gas out at around 3 months. Mine's not grunting and screeching so much anymore; he now knows the power of the SBD fart, especially when he's trying to get out of tummy time.
