How to Naturally Get Rid of Gas in Babies

Having a gassy baby is hard on the baby and you. Gassy babies tend to cry because gas causes abdominal discomfort. Gas can be caused by certain foods they eat or food eaten by a breastfeeding mother. Feeding babies incorrectly can also cause gas. While medicated drops can help, naturally treating babies' gas can be gentler on their sensitive systems.

Instructions

1

Lay your baby flat and face up on a soft blanket or baby mat. Grasp her ankles and gently begin moving her legs back and forth into her chest slowly.

2

Fill a baby bathtub with warm water and a teaspoon of lavender-scented baby soap to give the water a calming scent. Lay the baby in the tub and allow the faucet to gently pour warm water over her stomach to relax her stomach muscles.

3

Purchase baby-formulated all natural gripe water from a local health food or natural food store. Administer it to your baby according to the directions on the bottle. Gripe water is an all-natural formula that eases a baby's sensitive digestive system while relieving gas.

4

Keep a log of the foods your baby eats. Mark any foods where gassiness follows consumption and cut them out of your baby's diet for the time being. Speak with your doctor about these foods to ensure your baby doesn't have a food intolerance.
