We had asked about gas drops but our midwife said we could treat the symptoms (use gas drops) or address the cause (use probiotics to balance out the good/bad digestive bacteria); it made sense to us so we went with probiotics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-777048 Mon, 13 May 2013 01:12:13 +0000 lomom 777048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I EP, so he's bottle fed breast milk. We are switching to Dr Browns (as soon as Amazon delivers my package!!) so I hope that helps a little. We are also burping every 1/2 ounce or so during the feed to try to cut down on a little of the gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-777046 Mon, 13 May 2013 00:38:04 +0000 Sweet T 777046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mylicon drops were the only ones that worked for us. We also tried gripe water and little tummies drops but they didn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776979 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:39:42 +0000 doodlepoodle 776979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I was told to give them before they ate. Something about the gas bubbles sitting on top of the medicine? It was a LONG time ago and I was stressed out so maybe I made that up :) are you bf or formula? If you're formula I could give bottle/formula kind suggestions. Bf only worked short term for me :(</p> <p>Eta: @runningelley might have some advice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776890 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:22:21 +0000 photojane 776890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only ever needed them once since Sadie is a gas machine (she gets it from her daddy), but that one time was awesome. They were like magic potion... turned my screaming newborn right back into a smiley little goof. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776884 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:16:44 +0000 stargal 776884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup they worked for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776765 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:48:48 +0000 Smurfette 776765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!! They work for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776747 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:41:09 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 776747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we used gas drops. They were a must have for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776679 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:13:12 +0000 MarieJ 776679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gas drops were a life saver for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776669 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:10:55 +0000 pl0508 776669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we used them a ton during the newborn stage - at each feeding probably! Gripe water was more effective for us and would fix him up within minutes if he was really really gassy. We also give him probiotic drops ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gas-drops-1#post-776652 Sun, 12 May 2013 18:57:14 +0000 lomom 776652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do/did you use infant gas drops? Did you think they worked? </p> <p>My 4 week old has some gas pain, about 2.5 hours after each feeding. He gets really fussy and is immediately relieved and calm once he passes gas. We do the bicycle legs, pat his back, etc. to help him pass gas, as well as rocking him just to comfort him if the bicycle legs don't do the trick immediately. </p> <p>I'm thinking about trying them, I hate to see LO uncomfortable. </p> <p>Any other gas-relieving suggestions? </p>
