Question for all you mommies out there... My poor baby girl gets real grassy and cries almost all the time after I feed her. I formula feed cuz I was never able to get her to latch on, but the formula I use is the enfamil gentle ease; I'm wondering if maybe its the milk based formula and that maybe I should switch her over to soy formula... She has a Drs appointment tomorrow at 10am I might just talk to her pediatrician and see what she says cuz she's been like this for a while and I've just been giving her gripe water and gas drops but those don't seem to be working cuz even after I give her those she still cries. Btw this is my first baby so please any insight would be helpful...
she seems to be colicky. hold her head and her little butt, one in each hand and kinda twist her body. not much just enough to get the burps out.
@prestonsmommy, yeah that's what I thought I'm gonna double check with the pediatrician tomorrow when I take her to her appointment but I figured I'd ask on here too. @twinmommy hmm I'll have to try that too although recently as soon as I stop feeding her and sit her up she starts to cry and I've also been pushing her legs like she's riding a bike cuz my fiancé read somewhere that that also somehow helps with the gas and she usually burps after a few minutes of doing that
the twins have had the same problem. what I do now is warm their bottles then after they eat I sit them up for about 15 minutes (for their acid reflux) then put them on their stomachs. putting them on their stomach somehow pushes the gas out and they usually have a big burp or fart within 2 minutes
@valerie_jean, I've been using the gas drops although I also have the gripe water... I give her 0.3 ml of gas drops before I feed her and it still doesn't seem to work 😢 @prestonsmommy yes I do and it still doesn't help :(
If you give her both at the same time, or a lot of drops of gas drops a day, that can cause stomach cramps too. My sons doctor said to use either one or the other. If I used gripe water, to give twice daily. Gas drops twice daily. But not to use both. And he felt so much better and was easier for him to pass gas
No problem.
