I am wondering how gassy is too gassy when it comes to babies. I know some gas is expected but my daughter cries sometimes and then has gas or poops. She has what we call explosive poops. It is poop and gas. There have been two incidences when i was chaning her diaper when she had that happen and it shot accross the room. Is that normal gas or too much gas?
Thanks

Breastmilk stools are loaded with hydrogen and therefore very explosive. It is normal for babies to have gas. How much? Don't know. Some babies are very sensitive to gas and will cry sometimes. All sounds very normal.
