5 Best Solution for gas in new born - Dr.Kritika Agarwal

New-borns pass a lot of gas and this is normal because they gulp so much of air when they are crying or sucking or hiccupping, or the milk when it is digesting a bit of gas is produced. If you are only giving foremilk to the baby because it has high amount of sugar, the easy production will be ore. So what happens when gas I there is your baby will become a bit fussy, they can have a bit of burps, farts, have abdominal distension, on their tummy can become very hard. So the baby can become very uncomfortable. Few things that you have to do so that this does not happen, when you are feeding the baby, see that the latch is proper. Most of the areola should be in the baby’s mouth when you are breast feeding so that the baby is not gulping to much of air inside, when you are bottle feeding, try to keep the neck of the baby slightly above the stomach. So that will reduce the amount of air that the baby takes inside, burping is very important. You can burp the baby in between or after you have fed the baby. You have to try to burp the baby for atleast 10 minutes or so , in case if the baby has not burped, keep the baby on the bed, let them be for 5 to 10 minute son the bed and then again you can try to burp the baby. The third thing you can do is give a gentle massage on the baby. So massage also helps in relieving the gas. So if you massage from the left to the right in circular motions, gentle massage that helps in expulsion of gas. The thing is put the baby on the tummy. Tummy time s proven to be very good for the normal motor milestones of the baby as well as for expulsion of the gas. So if you just leave them on the tummy, it will help in expulsion of the gas. The other thing you can try is you can keep the baby on the back and do a little bit of pedalling, like pedalling of the cycle. If the mother is too gassy then the baby also would be. We do not recommend that you should stop eating different things, but we say that things that cause too much gas for you, eat those things in moderation. But all and all if your child is comfortable and happy, is uncomfortable for few seconds when they are passing gas, need not worry too much about it , but if your baby cries for more than 3 hours in a day, more than 3 times in a week, they will be having colic. So if your child has colic and the baby is not comfortable, we would recommend you to take your baby to the paediatrician. There are gas drops which contains simethicone, which helps in the expulsion of the gases and makes the baby comfortable.
