Gassy breastfed baby
My little guy is 7 weeks old and is usually calm and smiley and just so good during the day, but in the evenings he starts getting really fussy and just looks and acts really uncomfortable. The gas relief methods are very hit or miss and I've done everything; bicycle legs, "I love you" stroke, baby simethicone, gripe water, warm tummy, and holding him in every way imaginable. I burp him frequently during feedings as well. I've determined that the only way to help the gas is to cut out the foods that are potential culprits. I'm going to start by cutting out dairy tomorrow, give it about 3 days and see if there is a marked improvement. If not, I'll systematically cut the other potential causes. Did anyone else have this problem, and what foods did you have to cut out to help your little one not be so gassy? He cried more than he didn't for 3 hours tonight.
