Anyone have any tips for calming gassy infants? We're using the Mylicon drops which help him burp better, but little man is still in pain a good bit of the time. It breaks his mommy's heart! Someone else told us about sleeping tummy to tummy with him--that the warmth will help.
Any other magic cures out there?
Thanks,
Gas Man's Mom
I am a NICU nurse...babies with hurting tummies love a warm blanket laid on their belly and then swaddle him really tight, just put the blankets in the dryer on the high setting for a few minutes..keep giving the mylicon drops with every feeding before you feed him, hope this helps
ReplyDeletewell, I know for a fact you can not overdose them on gas drops! We would get his legs and get him to "ride a bicycle". the motion and "pushing" on his little tummy made our Drew poot every time! I hope this helps. Oh yeah I liked the Little Tummy's brand better than mylicon.
