Our poor, gassy babies :bummed: I think I am going to buy some probiotics today. We had another bad gas night/morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1735328 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 07:49:33 +0000 Mamasig 1735328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also wondering when it got better. LO is on formula and always has gas pain. I hate seeing him uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1735302 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 07:34:57 +0000 spaniellove 1735302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PixieStix: Can I ask how it went with the probiotics? It's just one of the many issues we're dealing with right now! I hope your LO is doing better these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1735200 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 04:28:32 +0000 Mae 1735200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also following. My lo has been doing the same thing the last week or so. Waking up, pedaling feet, and super gassy. I assumed it was just a phase but if I could help her that would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1735157 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 23:52:04 +0000 ellewoods84 1735157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PixieStix: hi! I was searching the boards and saw this post...I know it's kind of old, but wondering what ever happened with your LO and the gas? I read your post and could have sworn I wrote it about my baby! She is sooo super gassy, farting, waking herself up from the gas pain, groaning, etc....and also does the same thing at the breast that you described. I too told my pediatrician and she doesn't seem concerned! So....did anything work for you? Share the secrets!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1638022 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:25:02 +0000 PixieStix 1638022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you guys for chiming in. I'm gonna try probiotics for him next.. I'm just really hoping it's a phase. It sucks to see him fuss more these days. I worry about his happiness. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1635958 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:52:57 +0000 imbali 1635958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did an elimination diet for gas and reflux - it was hard but really worth it. LO was much happier! I eliminated wheat, egg, milk and soy and then reintroduced egg and wheat over time and checked her reactions. We recently reintroduced milk and she's *okay* - not as good but not as bad. so we'll see!</p> <p>GL, gas issues are horrible *hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1635948 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:50:18 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1635948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO definitely had gas pain (he would wake up, writhe, pass gas, etc.). It did improve over time - I think it was gone by four months. </p> <p>I gave him probiotic drops (Bio Gaia, which is now sold under the Gerber brand), which I think probably helped, especially as he had to take antibiotics at 7 weeks. I never tried eliminating anything from my diet because his discomfort seemed to be normal for a baby his age based on his pediatrician's opinion and what I had read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1635872 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:31:28 +0000 MrsRcCar 1635872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of moms have had lucky with following the MSPI diet. So elimatnating dairy and soy. When N was under 4 months egg was a real issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleh-gas-is-getting-worse#post-1635779 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:05:48 +0000 PixieStix 1635779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted about this once before but I'm back for more support, and to vent.</p> <p>Basically, my son has gas and it's getting worse. He wakes himself up from sleep to fuss, contort his body and toot. Sometimes he just writhes and the gas doesn't come out. Now it's getting worse and he's having gas all day. It's affecting breastfeeding -- which we finally got to a fairly pain-free point. But now he's squirming at the breast and pulling himself off and relatching several times over, so he's not feeding as well (I don't think). He's also waking up more times in the night to fuss about it. He has brief happy times where he smiles and babbles again after pooping, and then not too long after he's back to being unhappy and uncomfortable.</p> <p>I was trying to eliminate dairy and did for about a week before selfishly reintroducing it -- but I had read it could just be an immature GI tract to blame, and not food sensitivities. But it sounds so laborious and hard to figure out what the culprit would be, and could take a long time to figure it out. If it turns out it's not dairy, then I have to cut out soy, or wheat next?! Then if that fails, the next thing... and how long do I wait in between before cutting the next food? Or what if I eliminate it all at once, but then if it works I'll never know exactly what is upsetting his tummy. Raaaaah!</p> <p>Sigh. Did anyone just deal with bad gas until it actually did go away? My pediatrician says if it is just his body to blame, it should get better at 3 or 4 months old. I just dunno. :/ </p>
