Anyone else dealing with infant gas? My baby is 1 month old and grunts a lot and becomes restless. I tried probiotic and gripe water. It seems to work, but not sure how often can I use it. Any other recommendations?

That’s crazy this just popped up on my notifications just now . My daughter is only about 2 weeks old and she and I are going through the gas issue . I was breast feeding but decided to chill on it to get my sanity right and put her on alimentum similac the dark purple one ready to go cause that’s all they had at giant & seven been going through it a little . Gripe water on deck but you can tell she has it . She has disturbed sleep

Mylicon also works wonders! You can use it every 2 hours and 12 times a day. We also do bicycle kicks and apply some light pressure to the tummy area when baby boy has gas

Uhh I just use gripe water and bicycle leg circles and lay her in my chest and she seems to be comfortable on her belly

We do lots of bike legs and then pushing on the belly in a clockwise circle helps. Make sure to burp frequently during feedings. We also do gas drops daily which our ped recommended. It makes the gas bubbles smaller and easier to pass. If she still can’t pass it try fridi windi.

The only thing that has worked for us is bicycles (I bend his knees and gently press them into his lower abdomen) and tummy massages (gently pressing on the tummy and circling in a clockwise motion). Also Bliss has a simethicone medicine that helps. Good luck!

When can I start the meds - Milecon or Smithecone?Melissa, which gas drops are you referring to?

I’m currently using gripe water by mommy bliss for my one month old and you can use that up to 12x a day

It tells you the limit per day on the packaging

Yes - my 3 month old is a poot machine. My Lil stinky butt… we do leg exercises and let he rip 😝. We use gripe water as well.
