Hetal replied. reduce rice and beans in your diet. there is something in your diet that is makng her dry out the inner lining of anus.
increase liquids in your diet,,if your baby is on bf,,feed her as often as needed...
for 1.5months old no remedies are worth a try. you can try giving her mylicon(in US),,it will help remove gas...

give your baby enough exercises..cycle her legs when relaxed,,in circular motion,,whn she is lying on her back..between feeds..

. massage her stomach area,,esp the naval area,,around 3fingerwidths below her naval and with a firm but very gentle pressure,massage in circular motion at the count of 1,2,3.do it 4times only..not more. but do it often inbetween feeds

give her lots of tummy time, in between feeds,,relax her legs and hold them with your one hand,,slowly take it in direction of his head,,,while baby is sleeping on his back..it will help her relieve gas.

try to drink lots of fluids and lot of fibr in your diet,,esp spinach soup, prunejuice,,other green as a part of your diet,,if you are bf.
if you are bottle feeding, ask your dr if the formula type can be changed to lighter one,...also,,feed as often as needed,,anal area getting dry is a sign that baby is not getting enough liquids,,and only way to offer her the liquids is Breastmilk or formula !

good luck..ne other sign of redness around anal area has to be reported to your dr,,keep a check on her bowels and total intake of formula or bm,,keep an eye on her wght,,weekly.

takecare ! momoflittle replied. That is fine I guess. Even my son was like that till he was introduced to semi solids.. His paed said, it is ok to wait till 5 days if baby is breast fed. For gas you can put her on her tummy on a firm bed with no soft pillows around.
