a few mornings this week, and in the past, my 8 week old LO has woken up in the mornings in obvious discomfort, straining to pass gas. he also sometimes wakes up from naps with what seems to be gas discomfort. he is exclusively breastfed (nursing and bottle). i'm wondering if eliminating dairy from my diet is worth trying.

the pediatrician didn't seem too concerned and said it would probably get better as LO got older, although suggested that i could eliminate dairy, but didn't seem confident that it would work. (she also suggested gas drops and gripe water, which we are already using)

LO's poops are healthy and nothing unusual.

did your young LO have gas issues? did he/she outgrow them on their own?

if you tried eliminating dairy from your diet, did it work?
