Unfortunately, it took me cutting dairy out of my diet :( It does seem to make a difference...

As most mothers, I too do the bicycle movement with the legs and then after a few rotations press the legs up to the belly and usually the baby will toot. I also use Gripe Water, whether it has alcohol in it or not they both seem to work well...I hope this helps.

We use the drops, and also put Will on the Enfamil formula for gassy babies.

We use the gas drops too, but a lot of times if you use the bicycle movement it will help. I'll put both her knees to her tummy then straighten her legs out.. seems to relieve her gas.

My baby was pretty gassy too ... just got some gripe water from a friend (can't get it here in Ireland anymore) ... that and the doc has put her on infant gaviscon cos of her reflux and it seems to have helped with the gas too ... odd!

Just an FYI..

There was a recall on Mylicon on 11/10. I copied the statement from the Mylicon website.





JOHNSON & JOHNSON • MERCK CONSUMER PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANY ANNOUNCES URGENT VOLUNTARY NATIONWIDE RECALL OF INFANTS' MYLICON® GAS RELIEF DYE FREE DROPS (SIMETHICONE-ANTIGAS) NON-STAINING DUE TO POSSIBLE METAL FRAGMENTS



Fort Washington, PA (November 10, 2008) – Johnson & Johnson • Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Company (JJMCP) is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,000 units of Infants’ MYLICON® GAS RELIEF DYE FREE drops (simethicone-antigas) non-staining sold in 1 oz. plastic bottles that were distributed after October 5, 2008 nationwide. The company is taking this action in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The bicycle movement is helpful a lot of the time. I use the Mylicon too but I'm not sure I believe that it works but he likes how it taste & it seems to calm him a bit.

my baby is really really really gassy... :) we do gas drops at every feeding. At first I felt guilty but after reading the label I felt a little better. Also the lactation consultant told me to warm up a blanket in the dryer for a few minutes and wrap them tightly in it. Babies like the heat around their bellies. Warning: no heating pads. Hope this helps!
