I started giving my daughter gas drops around 6 wks, they never worked. I switched her to sensitive tummy formula and playtex drop in bottles and that solved our problem.
You can try gripe water; it's homeopathic & always worked very well for me. You can also look for homeopathic gas drops, but I'm not sure if they work b/c I never tried them. Also try gently rubbing baby's belly in a clockwise motion; sometimes that helps get the air moving. Also try burping your baby a little longer. Good luck, I know gassy babies aren't much fun! =(
Mostly breast but supplementing formula sometimes....i have a really hard time getting him to burp and he always gets the hiccups.. How much is gripe water and where do I find it
It's perfectly normal for him to spit up breast milk. All babies spit up, no matter what they're eating. I never used the gas drops, so I don't know if they're safe. I found gripe water at Safeway; you should be able to find it at Walmart, Target, etc. You may have to ask where they hide it; I remember it being a pain to find. It's no more than gas drops; maybe $6, tops.
