Gassy baby

Liz

My little boy is 2 weeks old, and from day one he’s been very gassy. He’s always farting and pooing. He poo’s at least every 2hrs day and night. It’s wet and his poor bottom is pretty raw. At least half the time he looks like he’s uncomfortable with it.

He is breastfed, and having formula bottles once or twice a day to give me a break. I make sure I make burping a priority, and I’ve tried ‘Infants Friend’ for a couple of days which is suppose to help with gas, but with no change. I’ve been avoiding spicy food as well to see if that helps, but it hasn’t made a difference. Also, I’m using barrier cream on his bum.

Does anyone have experience with this, and know what helps? Cheers.
