1 month old baby having gas problem

2020-04-22 16:50:32
My baby is one month old and has frequent gas problem. At the birth Gynaecologist suggested Colicaid drops when having gas. We gave it but seems that he still has gas and makes his face red when trying to yawn or release gas. We also try to make him burp after breastfeeding. Currently vitamin d3 drops are being given to him. Once in a day we give formula milk also. Is colic the only problem? Is yes then how much time it may take to be ok? Or anything else should be done?

Breast milk has two part fore milk and hind milk. For fore milk has more of water and carbohydrate , &hind milk has fat , so feed till breast empty whole from that side then offer other side. B/c both essential for baby. And carbohydrate will dilute and gas formation will be less. Ofcourse burping is must.

Proper burping should be done after each feed followed by keeping the baby in left lateral position. During breastfeeding proper attachment of nipple areola complex and mouth of baby is important. During bottle feeding, minimise air feeding by ensuring proper angulation of bottle during feeds. Medicines are not generally required. Proper burping will reduce the problems mentioned.

Dear parents, Follow some tips. Hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes I. Hold the outer palm of baby in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding. After feeding put the baby on left shoulder and pat just behind stomach level for 5mintues to burpe on back of the baby. Baby burp 3to5times. After burping lay down the baby onright side of the baby putting a pillow below head maintaining that head is above level of stomach. Don't feed the baby in lap. Don't pat over shoulder. Feed baby from one breast at a time. Proper burping is only solution. Read above instructions slowly 10 times.
