What to do if your child has gas:
1-Purchase Mylicon from Walmart or other grocery stores, these are safe to use and made from natural ingredients. It's been found that Mylicon will work on some babies, it works for our daughter.
2-Choose a formula that is for gassiness and fussiness, the one that we have is the Similac Sensitive.
3-Lay your little one across your lap with their tummy against your lap and pat gently on the lower back this will break up some of the gas bubbles and make it easier for them to pass gas.
4. Lay your baby on their back and cycle their legs like a bicycle you can also push their legs gently to their chest so that their thighs are up against the chest. This will also break up the gas bubbles.
How to know if your child is constipated:
1- Strains when they are trying to poo
2- Bowel movements consist of hard dry pellets
3- Dryness in the bowel movement and streak in the diaper can be a sign of constipation.
What to do if your child is constipated:
1-Depending on how old your baby is and their weight you can give them prune juice that is diluted with water. You don't want to give them too much because it might be too hard on their tummy. Make sure to seek advice from your nurse if you are unsure whether your child is constipated and if you are unsure on how much prune juice to give. You can also mix the prune juice in with their formula. (Method I use)
2-Stick your clean pinky in their bottom and move in circular motions to try to get your little one to poo.
3- Use an anal thermometer
4- As always if you are unsure or not comfortable seek an advice nurse or pediatrician for advice.

Today I'm going to talk to you about one of the worse discomforts your child may have. It seems with my little girl having gas and constipation was very bothersome to her. It is said that babies that are bottle fed tend to have more gas and constipation and that's why choosing the right formula for your little one can make a huge difference. If you are trying out formulas you should stick with one for a whole week to see how your little one is adjusting to it. When you decide to switch you can switch straight to it or you can do half and half until you completely switch over this way it won't be so rough on your child's digestive system.
