Gas problem
The last few days, my nearly 5 month old DD seems to have been farting a
lot, especiaally when she wakes during the night. She squirms as though her tummy is uncomfortable (though this is just my interpretation) then lets one off. Is it most likely something I've eaten? I can't think of anything I've eaten recently that might have caused it. Or could it be some stomach bug she's got? Or is it nothing to worry about? Thanks, Liz |

If you can't think of anything you've eaten or that she has eaten, I
wouldn't worry about it unless it is causing her to lose sleep. Some babies' systems are more alert to the goings on inside than others and some learn what turns into a sort of a reflex reaction later than others - meaning she could just be annoyed that she feels that toot flowing through her tummy versus not noticing it and instinctually letting it rip. lol. I had a doc tell me that when I commented on how my first seemed to make such a production of the bowel actions about to come. lol. He never cried, but you could just tell he was very atuned to something happening. lol.

Even if you haven't eaten anything "clasically" gassy such as beans or cauliflower, innocent-looking stuff such as pears could be the culprit. A friend of mine ate a pear and her daughter was gassy all day after that! Or sometimes kids are just gassy and it's nothing to do with you. No, not pears (I don't like them) :-) Liz |

Yes, I think she does know -- she usually has a major fussy period for ... oh, up to an hour before a bowel movement :-) Pity it's such a long and unpredictable time, otherwise I could use it as a cue to take her to the potty.

Hi -- If she has a predictable fussy period before pooping, then DO take her to the toilet and hold her over it in a good (knees up) position. It may help her to pass her stool more easily. It sure can't hurt to try! --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

Hi --
Altbough it is possible for just about any food to cause gas in the nursing infant, pears strike me as unlikely. And I sure wouldn't eliminate a food with just a single day of gassiness! The gas could have been caused by a different food, by a passing virus, by sheer bad luck, and the pear could be completely innocent! --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

Well I have tried a few times, but it's not THAT predictable -- sometimes her fussiness doesn't seem to lead to a poo, and sometimes the poo isn't preceded by fussiness. But yes, I should try it more often. Liz |

Take a 5-mo-old to the potty?
