Gassy baby

ds is 5 days old and bf. He's been sO gassy! I've been eating very healthy and a variety so I honestly don't think it's from what I ate. Is it normal for newborns to be gassy?

  • Mine is 4 weeks and she has always been gassy, unfortunately it's only been getting worse.

  • Sorry I don't have advice but I have a 3 wk old and she's been gassy today. I use gripe water which helps a little
  • Remember: if you're eating something that gives you gas, it will make baby gassy too. I was eating a lot of broccoli bc it's healthy, but it was making my 2 week old so fussy and gassy that I've stopped. I switched to spinach and he seems to be doing much better.
  • Try bicycle leg exercises on the baby and simethicone drips if gripe water isn't working. Also try to limit or cut out gassy foods from your diet if you are breastfeeding

  • Bicycles, toes to nose, & simethiconr have helped us. LO was always gassy & it was painful. He's still gassy but it isn't as painful.
