experience with gas and ebf babies ?
DS is 2 weeks old and seems to be struggling to poop throughout the day. He does poop at least 3 times a day but several times a day he is pushing and crying mostly when I'm nursing him. I have already cut out milk from my diet and it doesnt seem to help. What can I do to help him?

DS had horrible gas at that age and nothing I eliminated from my diet seemed to help at all. Colic Calm, Gripe Water and Mylicon seemed to help him temporarily. He eventually outgrew it but we had some rough days/nights!

Re: experience with gas and ebf babies ?
Did you ever ask your ped about why it could be happening?

Re: experience with gas and ebf babies ?
Yes, and he basically just told us that it was something he had to outgrow. It got much worse at around 3 months and now at 5 months it doesn't happen at all! Since you eliminated dairy from your diet it couldn't be a milk allergy/sensitivity and I think that's the major thing they like to rule out. I would keep a log of what you are eating and the degree of gassiness/funniess he has that day... that might be able to help you figure out what foods to avoid. I did this and couldn't find any pattern whatsoever.
Colic Calm really was a LIFESAVER. It took effect the second he swallowed it!

Re: experience with gas and ebf babies ?
if he is crying mainly when you are nursing him it could be a really fast let-down. . then babies tend to gulp a lot of air bc they are nursing so fast and they can get a lot of colic from it. . if that's the case you can pump a little bit first so it won't be so fast. .
other than that what other people said - mylicon, gripe water, my pediatrician said 1 oz of chamomile tea would be good too. .

You can find it anywhere... BBB, BRU, CVS, Walgreens, etc. Hope it helps!!
Side Note: It is a black liquid and at first freaked us out a bit bc his whole mouth was black until he swallowed it all.

Thank You. This seems like it could be a possibilty I do hear him swolling air when he nurses.
Is the chamomile for the baby?
