Hi Ladies, my baby has been gassy since few days,went to see the doctor who has given some sos drops but of no help. Is there anything i can do or what you people did when your baby had been gassy.

I am super worried he has not slept well, no proper feeds.

Hi my twin was like this he would be constipated and trapped wind. Not sure if you are breadt feeding or not but when my son wad like it I phoned my health visitor and they advised I try him with comfort formula. I was combination feeding at the time. Since he went on to the comfort formula I havent had any issues at all. He is 14 months now. X

Thanks for the reply,did your baby enjoy comfort formula or did you have trouble feeding him this as i heard they don't like the taste of it as such.

Yes we put both twins on it and they stayed on it. They refused to drink cows milk at 12 months lol they wanted to keep drinking their formula. I've never heard that the comfort milk doesnt taste as nice it doesnt smell any different etc. its just the proteins in the milk are broken up so it's more gentle on the babies digestive system. Definitely worked for my babies x

We tried infacol which didn't seem to make any difference and then moved onto comfort milk for colic and constipation. It did help but my LB still wasn't happy until he reached about 15 weeks and seemed to grow out of it. We also used Tommee Tippee anti colic bottles which helped

Hi lovely! Same here changed to the comfort milk and it definitely made a difference. Fingers crossed it does the trick as I know it’s so hard when they are like this. As they get older it does ease but I know it’s getting through this stage that’s needed xx
