Gas

Poor guy has been sleeping better the last few nights but will wake up 4-5 hours after bedtime eyes gas. It's so painful for him. At dinner lately he's had carrots, chicken and sometimes banana or plum. Tonight it was carrot, chicken, and plum. None of these have ever been an issue before and aren't new for him. Wdyt?
Also he is ff and nothing's ever changed there either. He doesn't have any issues during the day.

Re: Gas

  • Maybe the gas isn't waking him up, but you notice it when he wakes?
    (Maybe he frequently has gas MOTN, but isn't usually awake, so you never noticed before?)

    N used to fart a lot, really smelly too, any time of day or night, but it rarely woke him.
    The last month or two it had reduced both in frequency and smell. :)

    Not sure what it could be.
    What else does he eat earlier in the day? Maybe it's a delayed bout of gas?

  • Lunch is fruit only. Usually plum banana or apple. Today, plum and some Cheerios. Breakfast is a peice of toast, yogurt, oatmeal, and fruit.

  • Hmmm.. Is he gassy all day? Could be yogurt? Try cutting out dairy to see if that helps? Nothing else he's eating should do it

    Is it possible he's getting more air than usual while he's drinking bottle? V had that issue when h had his cold and couldn't breathe out of nose. He was sucking but with mouth more open. Made him burp more.

    He's fine all day so I'm confused.

  • @kiraliz2 where would I find a probiotic? I checked at the local drug store and target a while back with no luck. I was looking for an infant probiotic, though. Is there a certain brand/ type that works best?
    Not to jump in but there isn't a such thing as an infant probiotic. I've only been able to find the kids packets of Culturelle and give her half of the pack (per the doctors orders). You can get those at any grocery store or pharmacy.

    That's what I get for not doing my own research and listening to the pharmacist at Walgreen's. I'm guessing she's right in the fact that it's the same as adult but just a smaller dosage but she made me think they didn't have an infant dosage available. Maybe she meant you can't find the infant ones in the stores??

    Thanks for the link! Much easier to buy the correct dosage in the first place then what I've been doing.

  • Plum and banana have made O gassy before. She loves both so I've had to be careful not to give her too much of those back to back.

    If he has a stuffy nose, maybe swallowing more air??

    I 2nd the probiotics.

    No stuffy nose. Maybe it is the plum. But he has had them for lunh before with no problem. Not quite sure... He hasn't had anything new and this happened a few nights ago, with good nights in between and same food. Maybe just one of those random things...
