colic help!

[ladypau]

My two weeks old gets a lot of gas...yes, I burp him after breastfeeding and yes, I try massaging his tummy...any other tips?

Mylicon drops - they're safe and work wonders. You can also try the Colic hold - lay baby face down across your forearm so the tummy is pressing against your arm - you can rub or pat the back to help move gas. Also know that new babies tend to have a lot of gas (immature digestive systems). This will get better!

Is it OK to give a newborn drops?

I used Gripe Water with my son. It worked almost instantly.

Putting him in the sink with warm water running over his tummy could help, also, I have heard alot of success stories with chiropractors..Sometimes, there is something out in their neck, and it can affect their tummies...Good luck

Lay the baby across your lap, face down, holding his head. Gently bouce your knees and rub or pat his back from his neck to his butt.
