Need some input
« on: June 05, 2006, 19:09:48 pm »
Hi,

My DS is 15 weeks old.  He isn't what I would call really gassy but he has his moments.  I have kept a food journal and have not been able to pinpoint anything.  My oldest daughter had several food issues so I have been through this before.  My son is pretty happy most of the time but is really unpredictable.  Last night he woke up a lot with gas pain.  I'm not sure this is food related or the result of me trying to feed him more to increase night sleep( both sides BF maybe too much quencher milk).  He finally settled down today after a good bowel movement but seemed pretty out of sorts beforehand.  Does this sound like a food issue to anyone?  I don't do dairy, wheat, very little soy, corn  and eggs.  Thanks.

You may just have a gassy little boy.  You could be right about a bit too much foremilk.  Make sure he's drained the first breast before offering the second. 

Sorry, that's not very helpful.

It doesn't sound like a food issue necessarily.

Maybe this information might help.
