Has anybody’s pediatrician recommended mylicon gas drops for their newborn? My 6 week old has terrible gas and is so uncomfortable. We know he has it bad because we’ve seen it all on ultrasound. I’m going to ask my ped about them tomorrow I was just curious if anyone has had any luck with them. Thanks!
We used them but then stopped due to causing horrible diarrhea. It helped with the gas but basically pushed everything out with it.
We just did the massages instead to relieve gas.
They’re great for short term relief since it actually helps clear out the bubbles, but you should also be figuring out why/how little guy is ending up with so much air. Chances are it’s a latch issue if you’re nursing, or just too much air intake with a bottle. Frequent burping could help as well, and/or also try bicycling legs and pushing legs into belly and then pulling (gently lol) straight out. Sounds crazy, works like a charm.
Yes! Game changer!! Must be given before every feed
