Bubble Trouble
How to Control Baby's Gas
By Carma Haley Shoemaker
"You can also talk to your pediatrician about other options," Prachniak says. "Taking preventative measures will keep Baby – and ultimately Mom and Dad – from being miserable and uncomfortable."
Babies are very good at telling their parents what they need in their own way: crying. When your baby is uncomfortable, it is a message you want to be sure to understand and respond to. "Gas pain is common in babies," Prachniak says. "It is also one of the most frustrating conditions for parents due to the crying that results. But if Mom and Dad take note of their baby's message and respond by using one of the methods named or something recommended by their baby's doctor, it would result in a very short communication. Then their baby can get back to being all 'bubbly' without the gas pains."

Gas Pains and Babies by Hillary on 01/13/2010 01:48PM
My infant is 7 weeks old. She has had terrible gas since about week 3 My concern is that nothing seems to work and she continuously, at times will be wrenching in pain and crying out.When it is bad this will occur every fewseconds or minutes and can go on for several hours i have tried gripe waters, mylecum, and now zantac for acid reflux.Normal burping techniques are not working either. I am concerned that it may be symptomatic ofsomething larger.Any thoughts would be appreciated hillabouttown@yahoo.com

My 10 week old has been suffering from birth as well. Nothing we try works. I haven't tried Mylicon but may have to. Our pediatrician tells us it will eventually go away but it is so hard to see him suffer as it affects his sleep. I too am worrying there is something more going on. We may have to take him to a GI specialist. Hillary, anything work for you yet?
