Idea for gas pain relief

lbonga1 · November 2014

I saw someone post the other day that they laid a warm, wet cloth on their LO's tummy to help with gas. Tonight my girl was clearly tired but fighting gas pains, but I didn't want to have her undressed and wet. So I made a rice sock and heated it up so it wasn't too hot (also put a cup of water in the microwave with it so it was more of a wet heat). Then I swaddled LO, placed the sock on her tummy, then wrapped another swaddle around her. After that I was able to rock her to sleep in a matter of minutes. So I just wanted to share in case this idea might help someone else too!

That was me. I've done it with her clothes on too, it works just as well. I was also wondering about the rice idea. Good job. :-)

I put a towel in the microwave and caught it on fire!!!

lol soooo... I don't recommend that!! All for my LO.

@str13‌ that's exactly why I use hot water from the tap. Lol

Sorry I know this sounds like a dumb question, but you just put rice in a sock, tie it off, then set a cup of water next to it and microwave it? I would love to try it for my gassy guy.

@aliciak316 exactly. I microwaved it for a minute, but it was a little too hot. Maybe 45 seconds?
