My Infant Is a Gassy Factory

It seems like every time I feed my baby, he gets amazing gas. I watched him spit out a small bubble, and then he looked and cried until he released the gas. I'm worried because it looks worse; she recently started avoiding my breasts and teasing her. I am concerned that he has contributed to the meal by building up. Because I'm sure the gas is sick, he probably doesn't want to eat it because he knows it'll make him sick. I'm not sure what to do - everyone has told me that breastfeeding is the best thing for my baby, but now I think I need to switch to formula. Maybe it won't cause him a lot of gas.

The first thing you need to know is that almost everyone agrees that breastfeeding is best for your baby. That said, breastfeeding has been identified as a cause of excess gas and even colic. Most of the time, it's not the real milk that's the problem. If you are breastfeeding and your baby is getting excess gas, it may be due to poor breastfeeding techniques. This may be due to a bad latch or even moving your baby to another breast before she gets breast milk. Hind milk is what a baby gets when his breast is almost empty; most of the calories, fat, and carbohydrates are in this milk. Next milk is what a baby gets during a full breast. The milk is mostly lactase, or milk sugar; too much of this milk has been proven to cause gas.

Real milk can be a problem if you eat too much gas-producing food. Foods that cause gas include:

• Broccoli


• Onions


• Spicy food


• Cow's milk

Cow's milk can be the biggest culprit when it comes to colic or gas. This is because it has the wrong mix of proteins for humans, making it too hard for some babies to digest. Most of the time this is just an issue for baby formula milk cows. But your baby can only be very sensitive to cow's milk products. If you have made sure other diets are gas-fed, and your baby is still gassy, ​​then you may need to remove all dairy from your diet. You only need to do this for a short period of time until your baby is mature and can better tolerate milk.
