(More customer reviews)My little boy has had gas since day 1. I was worried that he was too young to give medicine, but at his first Dr. appt (3 days old), the pediatrician told us we could give him Mylicon every 2 hours to help. For some reason, we couldn't find Mylicon or a generic Simethicone drop anywhere, and my husband found 1 of these at a pharmacy. At first I wasn't sure if it worked or not, but I then realized that if I gave it to him right after or during a feeding, he would burp more quickly/easily. It always took us a long time to get a burp out of him, so I know that was making his gas worse when he didn't get the air all out. I think it works best if you do give it before/during a feeding, rather than waiting till he's already in pain from the gas. He likes the sweet taste, and the taste helps calm him because he'll actually suck on his pacifier after the drops are in his mouth, allowing him to calm himself down (stop crying & soothe himself with the pacifier).
Recently, a pediatrician friend of the family recommended we try giving him a probiotic supplement that we could buy at Whole Foods or any health stores. We've been mixing 1/4 tsp. of baby probiotic powder, into a bottle of milk (breast or formula), and a week later we are definitely noticing less gas and more ease passing gas on his own. I still give him these little tummies drops at night to make sure if he's got any gas, it doesn't wake him up & helps me burp him quicker during the night feeding. Each 1 ounce package costs $11 to 13 dollars at pharmacies, so a 3 pack from Amazon at $22 is a great deal. Currently they are offered by other sellers, hopefully Amazon restocks soon!
