Baby got
gas?
If your
little one is regularly, visibly, and relentlessly bothered by painful gas, it
can be very upsetting and frustrating for you as a parent—upsetting to see your
baby in pain and in trying to handle a crying, inconsolable infant; frustrating
as you’re trying to figure out what’s causing the baby gas pain and what you
should do to end it and bring that much-needed relief (both for baby and for you!).
The truth
is, all babies have gas, but some have
more gas than others as well as a harder time getting rid of their gas.
If you’re
trying to track down what’s behind your baby’s excess gassiness, keep in mind
that there’s a good chance the cause is multi-faceted. Swallowing too many air
bubbles (usually through a poor breastfeeding latch or because of a bottle or
nipple design or size), too many gas-producing foods and/or excess acidity in
nursing mom’s or baby’s diet, food intolerance (dairy, for example),
overstimulation, colic, allergies, etc., are just some of the more common
causes of baby gas pain—but a combination of these is usually the culprit. The
main reason why gas causes pain, though, is that baby’s digestive system is
still immature.
Whatever’s
behind your baby’s gas pain and discomfort, you want effective relief fast—both
for the baby and yourself! Dealing with a gassy baby is very taxing on a
parent.
There are
several things you can try to end baby gas pain: burping your baby regularly,
infant massage, baby leg exercises, continuing to breastfeed, changing your
diet if you are breastfeeding, switching to a different infant formula if
you’re bottle-feeding (your gassy baby may be reacting to a specific brand),
and exercising more caution with the types of solid foods you are introducing
to your baby.
Another
popular choice for ending baby gas pain is giving alcohol-free gripe water to
your baby. There are several different types and brands of gripe water; some
contain simethicone, some contain sodium bicarbonate, and others contain essential
oil and herbal extract formulas. However, some common gripe water ingredients
are not 100% effective and may produce unwanted side-effects.
