Waking up every 2 hours

Jump in here, ladies, but doesn’t the mylanta also help with gas? Or have you tried Mylicon in the midnight bottle? I would maybe give a dose of mylanta with the midnight bottle or the mylicon.

Are you sure that she is uncomfortable from the gas? My son toots constantly but it does not really bother him. It might just be a coincidence that she is passing gas while she is fussing. Is she pulling up her legs? Is her tummy hard? Just a thought- babies at that age really love company. You said that you are sleeping on her floor to prevent waking up your 3 year old. Maybe you are rushing to her side too fast. I do not subscribe to the CIO theory at all. But, a couple of times I have let my son cry at night for 10 minutes or so and he falls asleep on his own. Sometimes when I go to him, it just makes him fuss more. How do you get her back to sleep? Does she go right back to sleep after passing gas or do you give her a bottle?What kind of bottles are you using? Dr. Brown’s are the best for gas. Also, prevacid can cause gas (that is what my son is on). We have not really struggled with a lot of painful gas, but the only way that I have gotten Jackson to sleep for longer periods of time is to delay my response to him. I know that it is hard and I would NOT let a reflux baby get too worked up, but running to him at every whimper only makes the problem worse! Just a thought. GOOD LUCK!

Alana had horrible gas. The most useful thing for us was regular stomach massage and leg cycling. The gas was so much less when she was properly medicated and on a hypo formula; so I wonder if it is worth revisiting the alimentum. Otherwise perhaps you could add some zantac in at night (to rule out the reflux flaring which can I think cause gas…there was a post explaining the link at one time or another). Also have you tried dividing the dose into two?
