Gassy baby can't sleep

[Liquorice]

Hi charade. I use Wyeth S26 because this is the first one we bought. It works well for my son. I heard that Aptamil is very good. My sister-in-law told me it is used in special care units in hospitals in the UK.

Hi charade and curios, sorry for the late reply. Diet was all about trial and error unfortunately. The doc told me to go easy on milk and broccoli. I started making a note of everything I ate and noted the baby's reaction. And the cabbage thing was unbelievable- his reaction was instantaneous and I don't know how I (and others in the house) never saw it before he was 6 weeks- i think I was eating cabbage every other day! He was also in pain if I ate peanuts but not as much, milk on the other hand was not really a culprit. I feel your pain but they do grow out of it- really!!

I also put on ointment if my baby seems very gassy. It makes my baby tummy warm. I think it should be similar to what Suv is using. Sometimes, if she cries too much before last feed I will use gripe water. And she will fart more the next morning. Other than all these I put on tummy warp all the time, it's a Chinese kind of thing, like an adult tube top for her, I think it makes her tummy warm. Don't know if it's really useful but since it's winter now, I guess one more top won't harm?

Thanks SUV and Taysty for your responses (and curios for starting this thread!). I've been off dairy for two weeks, just eating a bit of cheese right now. Wish me luck!
