Tips on how to relieve gas... my almost 2 week old has had really painful gas for the past few nights and my SO doesn't want to give him gas drops. I appreciate any advice, even your experience with your babies taking gas drops. I hate hearing him cry from this, it's excruciating. I tried massaging his tummy, back, and stretching his legs out.... it helped a little, but I want permanent relief for my poor baby. TIA ladies.

I would push my baby's knees up to her tummy and help her push out the gas.

Thanks! That's actually what I've been doing, but now I'm doing in way more just in case. I actually take breaks while he's nursing to burp him cause' my son likes to eat like he never has before and then throws it all up. @b3autymarkk23

my son was suffering from gas & i thought it was from dairy products so i stopped eating dairy but it really was all due to me not burping him after every single feeding. i gave him gas drops i went to the er & he was fine lol just make sure u constantly burp him. whenever my son is fussy for no reason i assume its gas so i burp him and he burps and feels better.

@bria, I'll definitely look that up and I rubbed his lower abdomen some more and he's been passing gas a lot so that's good.

Ahh yeah he's def not constipated which is great. I'm sure you can Pinterest or YouTube or check a babycenter board for breastfeeding positions to help alleviate gas, but I never used gas drops Bc she was too young in my opinion and my ped basically said "they might work" but not a guarantee. Only website I really run off of for baby is aap (American academy of pediatrics)

His poop has been yellow which is normal for healthy breastfed babies, so I'm glad he's no constipated. I think it may be some of the positions I've had him in while breastfeeding. I wish I took the class in the hospital but he actually needed to be changed and fed right when it started so I didn't go. @bria have you used gas drops ever? I've heard good things so I'm really on the fence about it... my SO doesn't trust meds 😐

Honestly I haven't, this sounds bad but I have only been eating like once a day, drinking lots of fluids and taking my prenatal. I'll pay more close attention to what I'm eating, I think it may be the positions I've had him in while breastfeeding. I just want him to be better, I feel so helpless. @mommymcclung

If he's breastfed his poop pattern is liable to kind of be all over the place at first but if it's constipation (where he's pooping pebble-like that's hard) call the ped and they'll probably recommend some type of suppository

Could have been something you ate but also could just be normal. He's super tiny so a lot of babies that age are gassy it's just their digestive systems finishing developing and stuff. If it's persistent try modifying what you eat but I honestly think a lot of babies go through that. My daughter got breastmilk and formula for the first six weeks and then switched her to formula cuz my milk dried up but she was super gassy the first couple weeks

@sarisings, have you noticed any trigger foods that you eat that make him more gassy? I breastfeed as well and my little man had bad gas too. He's only 10 weeks old and he rarely cries because of it anymore. He still is really gassy but he has gotten the hang of relieving the gas himself! Hang in there momma 💙

I did both and it helped, then my SO rubbed his back and he's better now... but he's been waking up in the middle of the night and won't go back to sleep because the pain is so bad. @bria

Do bicycle exercises with his legs and rub his lower belly (under belly button) counter clockwise

Due date

How likely are you to actually give birth on your due date, especially with your first kid? I don't want him to come on his exact due date because I don't want him to share a birthday with a certain someone.

shaina Jesus, I hope he's not two weeks late. Did they end up having to induce you, jackums619?
Had my first on his due date 15 minutes in but yes it is very rare. Most
They say you're more likely to deliver early. Every pregnancy is different though.
