might be the formula. if you`re ing playtex bottles (with the drop ins) make sure the air is fully out. might be the bottle you`re using... it can be many things (common in babies)

I used to lay my daughter across my knees, when I was sitting in a chair or couch, then lay my Dr on her belly across my knees. .... it would help with her being fussy from gas

Unfortunately, some babies are just extremely gassy because their digestive system is still learning how to function. I`ve heard wonderful things about Mylicon Drops. If she is on formula, that could cause her to be gassy. If she is breastfeeding, your diet can cause her to be gassy (I BF with my daughter and most veggies I ate gave her terrible gas!). I hope you and your baby find some relief soon! Good luck!!

my baby has been that day since day one on colostrum even, they cut everything possible from my diet and at 3 months he is still this way they just figure he has in immature stomach even though he was born only 2 weeks early it can happen to full term babies as well, its miserable i hate not being able to help him! mylicon will not help a truly gassy baby ,i also tried gripe water since its natural, but nothing helped. i have my baby on probiotics which seem to help with the pain aspect but he still farts all the time and wakes up from it as well. the probiotics are biogaia and made specifically for babies (my baby is only bf, no formula or bottle ever, were just the unlucky ones, good luck!)

Okay, I just looked at your profile and saw you were in Canada, so I`m not sure if they have Targets there. But call around and find a store that has a generic brand and you can get them much cheaper :)

Is she on formula? Sometimes that can make them gassy. Or she could be like my daughter, who is just naturally gassy. You could try Oval drops to break down the gas a bit and make her more comfortable.

Gas is a very common problem with newborns. Keep burping often even if it doesn`t seem to be helping that much. Sometimes baby bicycles help move it through too. Just lay her on her back on the floor and take her little legs and move them up towards her belly and then away as if she`s doing `bicycles` (like the exercise). Basically, their digestive systems are just very immature. Get mylicon gas drops (only, don`t pay $14 for the name brand! Go to target and get the target brand for about $3. Look at the ingredients, they are identical! Just ask someone for the target brand infant gas drops ) The gas drops are a life saver! And such an easy fix for most babies :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
