Natural babies need natural relief

Medicine free alternatives to helping your baby live a gas-free life.

The natural remedies to treat gas that are to follow worked for us like a charm!

It seems that so many parents are so quick to go the medicine route in order to treat their little ones for gas. I, too, have a very gassy baby and hated to see her suffer! But before we turned to medicines of any sort we gave the natural stuff a go. It worked like a charm and now, we are gas and tear free – no drops needed!!!

How we treat gas

• Burp – Burp often and persistently. Sometimes they come right out. Other times you may need to try and try again. Check out The Art of Burping Your Baby for more tips.
• Bicycle feet – While holding your baby on your lap pump her legs into her stomach to help move the gasses along and out. Check out How to Do Gas Exercises in a Baby, by Pediatrician Dr. Wu
• Toes to nose – With your babies feet in your hands, gently bring the toes to your baby’s nose. Some babies feet might not reach — don’t force it.
• Ball roll – Bean loves this exercise! Check out this Baby and Me Yoga video on the how to’s.
• Tummy time – Babyzone.com helps you with starting your baby with Tummy Time. It’s never too late!
• Tummy rub – here is a wonderful video to get you started the right way – Baby Massage: Help For Your Baby Belly Blues
• Feed upright – It’s best to hold your baby as upright as possible when feeding her. This will help prevent gas from going deeper into their systems
• Keep upright after meals – Keeping your little one upright for at least 15 minutes will greatly help with gas issues! Take this time to dance and sing together. It’s great for bonding too!
• Warm tummy packs – placing a warm compress on your babies belly can help relieve gas immediately. Leave this on the belly for as long as necessary. She should feel relief very soon! This is especially great to use at night!

Is Your Baby a Reflux Baby: take the quiz

Hiccups, spit up, and vomit, oh my!

There’s nothing worse than watching your little one suffer and not being able to do anything about it. 

Spitting up all day. Could it be GERD?

We were dealing with lots of spit up and even more crying throughout the day. No matter how much burping we did or remained in an upright position after eating the spit up and crying came and never seemed to go away.
Bedtime brought more tribulations with, at times, massive throw up that seemed to projectile for feet at  time and even though the nose. It was heartbreaking watching Bean endure such harsh experiences within her tiny, helpless body.

Heartburn and reflux was one of the most prominent effects of my pregnancy, so, i know all too well what my nugget was going though. So, we began to problem solve.
