- 2Immature digestive system
- 3Cow's milk protein in breast milk or formula
- 4Solids: certain foods (cabbage, legumes, onions)
- 5Overfeeding
O Que Você Pode Fazer
- Burping: after every feed and in between
- Tummy massage clockwise with warm oil
- Cycling movements with legs
- Tiger hold: baby face-down on forearm
- Simethicone drops: dissolve gas bubbles in gut
- Warmth: cherry pit pillow on tummy (not too hot!)
Quando Ir ao Médico?
- Hard, bloated abdomen that doesn't soften
- Baby vomits and has gas simultaneously
- Blood in stool
- Baby completely refuses food
- Crying suddenly stops and baby becomes lethargic
Notas por Faixa Etária
Worst in the first 3-4 months. Improves significantly from month 4-5 as the digestive system matures. May briefly increase when starting solids.
Perguntas Frequentes
Does breastfeeding cause more gas than bottle?
Not necessarily. Bottle-fed babies often swallow MORE air, especially with the wrong teat size. Use a slow-flow teat (size 1 in first months) and anti-colic bottles.
Should I avoid foods while breastfeeding?
Only if you see a clear connection. Most babies do NOT react to the mother's diet. Gassy foods for the mother do NOT automatically mean gas for the baby.
