My 4 wk old is starting to do this also. Now today she's not napping well at all and fussing a lot and I know it's gas cus she's flairing her legs and arching her back and I tried the gas drops and she's been pa__sing a lot of gas but she's still fussy. I feel so bad for her. Sometimes just lifting her legs for her makes her pa__s gas. It's pretty funny. I've tried everything but sometimes nothing helps. I'm taking her to the doc today for her first appointment so I'll let you know if she has any other suggestions. I too am b___stfeeding and I try to avoid caffiene and I drink a lot of milk and I wonder if that's bothering her.

My doc said the gas problem is common and to try the drops but she said sometimes they work an sometimes they don't. She said to avoid tomato sauces, greens, cabbage, and to try to lay off the milk and see if that helps. Otherwise she didn't say much, just to keep burping her, moving her legs when she gets ga__sy, etc.

Dawn, I feel your pain. Every once in awhile, he wakes up screaming, until he pa__ses gas. He'll be 3 weeks on Monday.
