Hi Hetal,
My Mahika is 31/2 months old. I bottle feed her 2 - 3 times a day (around 100 ml each time) on NaN1 and rest of the day its BM. She has severe gas problem. She becomes a bit cranky when this gas bothers her, i press legs to her chest and help her release it, which calms her down. She passes motion with a gap of 3 - 4 days. Recently, we started giving her water with ajwain boiled in it, which put her on track of passing motion everyday, but gas problem still persists. Please give suggestions to help her.
thanks in advance... Hetal replied. your child is having gas,,ajwain is supposed to relieve your baby...add in some hing to water along with ajwain and see if that helps !

if not in one-2days, thn consult your dr,,he might give you some gas aid that will be helpful to your baby.
massagn gently near the naval area helps. and so does the cycling baby legs..cycle your baby legs, making sure tht they are relaxed,,
and since this prob is continuous,it might be possible that something in your daily diet is causing it..try one day without dairy OR wheat OR rice,,one by one and check on it !, also, reduce the lentils(esp toor dal, and if its your main diet, add in some some ajwain,methi seeds and a dash of oregano in your dal) in your diet,and changing the formula type with less iron or swtchng to soy might help...but let your dr be the best person to decide the type of formula.
try eating garlic sauted in ghee, in your rice items and see if that comforts your baby (via bf)..
also,soothing rockers, vibration(health org approved) swings or such cradles soothes gassy babies.
chewing some roasted dill seeds while breastfeeding(when baby is feeding just at that time),,might help to some extent..also chewing and sucking the juices of roasted ajwain seeds(in bit ghee,salt and couple drops of lemon juice),,makes your bm gas free,,if at your body nature is gassy and thats what is causing your baby to give gas !
give your baby a really good tummy time,,it wil automatically reduce his gas,,do it after 1/1.5 hour of feed or before feeds,,,and NOT just after the feeds...
so thats all i could think of it,,hope it helps !
a normal gas prob or a lil fussiness is ok until 4months..but make sure to talk about it to your dr at your well child checkup or if the problem gets worst and your child gets violent because of gas,,rush him to dr !

take care,good luck
